Spring is officially here. Of course, living in San Diego County we never really have winter, but Spring does bring the start of planting season for tomatoes. I have tried to grow them year round, but have not had luck so far.
I always buy some tomatoes from a place like Home Depot so I can get an early crop before I start to get fruit from the ones I grow by seed. I am not a big fan of your basic big red tomato, so I usually get different colors and sizes.
Last year I had good luck with the Indigo Rose tomatoes. Size wise they were larger then Cherry Tomatoes, but they were not very large. They had a sweet flavor, and never lasted long once picked.
I also planted some Heirloom Tomato seeds. I made the mistake of not marking what seeds went into what pot, so I have no idea what types I have growing right now. It will just have to be a surprise in a couple of months!
