July’s Continuing tomato mis-adventures

July 6, 2020 ~ M Ress ~ 1 Comment

So it's July in San Francisco- one of the most consistently warm Julys in a while. This is good- It means the tomatoes are growing, ripening and should be nice and tasty. It also means the fungal issues that plague tomatoes in this city are only a little horrific- instead of nightmarish. It also means … Continue reading July’s Continuing tomato mis-adventures

Tomato pre-triumphs- or the only reason I’m not cursing the heatwave

June 18, 2020 ~ M Ress ~ 3 Comments

New year, new seedlings, new tomato varieties

January 4, 2020January 4, 2020 ~ M Ress ~ 1 Comment

Well as much as I'm trying to pull away from the stereotypical tomato centric summer planting, I like tomatoes. Yes, yes, they don't even grow well in San Francisco- but I live in a hotter part (relatively) and I like a challenge. But I'm not falling into the tomato trap this year of putting in … Continue reading New year, new seedlings, new tomato varieties
