Tomato Mania

Yesterday was a beautiful southern California day, sun was shinning, sky was clear, and Tapia Farms was having its annual TomatoMania festival.  There were tons of varieties of tomatoes and some herbs and veggies.  We restrained ourselves this year and agreed on only 4 tomato plants.  We got two cherry tomatos, one orange cherry tomato, and one beef steak tomato, all indeterminate, all non heirloom.  We are planting two of the plants in new locations that seem to have good sun and water.  Two of the plants will still be in the back forty with some water challenges, so hopefully they will do okay this year.  I bought two sweet basil plants also.  They seem a bit frail, so we will wait on see if they survive.

Of course, today it is pouring rain!  I am sure the plants don't mind but I keep thinking Spring is here, but it refuses to really arrive.  I am holding off planting lettuce until we have more warm weather.  So the garden is a bit of a hodge podge, with fallow squares where the lettuce should be.  I will post pictures once the sun comes out again.
