Yesterday I set out the tomato plants. It's a bit early, and it was very windy, but it's been sunny and warmer than normal. Plus, even with the raised cold frame, they were bumping their heads on the top. So out they went. I have ten plants this year -- five canning and five eating. I have two Amish Paste, two San Marzano, and one Debarao, which I've never heard of but sounded good. And I have Cherokee Purple, Green Zebra, Stupice, Sungold, and a new one called Red October, which is supposed to stay on the vine longer and keep longer off the vine. We'll see.
I also planted the melons. I've planted three different varieties in each of three places in the bed. I have Ambrosia, Athena, Papayadew and Honey Ace.
Today I put the little mesh bags on the apples. I ran out, so we'll have a test to see if they make a difference.
The ceanothus in front has started blooming.
