The Tomatoes

May 7, 2010
At the Clackamas Chapter's OSU Master Gardener Spring Fair last week end, I bought four great tomatoes from Red Pot, where they gave me a discount because I am a Master Gardener. Great folks! I bought a Green Zebra, Brandywine (Sudduth), San Marzano (Nano) and a Stupice. It has been so cold and rainy that I have put them in a south facing window. Today, for the first day in almost a week, I put them in the sun outside, but have had to bring them back in to spend the night. The roots are filling their four inch pots already so I am going to transplant them into half gallon containers tomorrow. I'll pot up one more time before I put them in the garden. Bill and I are going to a work party at the garden tomorrow. We have to give at least four hours a year towards upkeep there, which isn't a lot.
