I'll be starting my tomatoes in the basement along with the rest of my
veggies. Am I too soon to start now? Last year in SF I started tomatoes
early January, and had peas a foot tall by now. I was jumping the season
there too, but with far less serious results than here. I'm glad to hear
that this is a great place for tomatoes though. That's something of a
consolation prize. So, I don't need to focus just on short season
varieties? To stray off topic (and probably sound pretty goofy, sorry)
will things like watermelon and hot peppers have a long enough season to
ripen here as well?
And one more question- does anyone have an absolute favorite paste tomato
for making sauce?
Thanks so much!
