I am about a week later than last year but, considering the much colder and longer lasting winter, this is not bad.

| Tomato plants ready to transplant. |
The thing about tomato planting is that it clearly delineates cool season from warm. I always make sure the soil has warmed up some before I plant. I have planted my favorite cultivars: Cherry Roma, Thessaloniki and Roma. Those are guaranteed to have GREAT TASTE, the only thing that counts for me. I don't go for giant size or mass production, I go for the only thing that counts: the best taste. As usual, I am experimenting with some new (for me) ones: Indigo apple and Indigo Blu Berries. They are supposed to have more antioxidants; we'll see what that does to the taste! Besides I am trying some Pomodoro, Italian Heirloom and Carmello. I'll keep you posted. Robin, I started some of your Black Cherries for the second planting!

ReplyDeleteSeeing this encourages me to go dig in the dirt, as you and your garden always have. I practically swoon imagining the smell of the Wisteria.
