I’m pretty good at gardening in the north. I love the seasons and seeing what you can get a jump on, or make last longer.

When I lived outside of San Diego, it was a BORING “72-degrees and Sunny” every d@mn day, LOL! Zzzzzzzzzz!

Yep...much more exciting to sit and stare at the ice cycles hanging from the light fixtures as the snow caves the roof in >:)))

I’ve been trying to grow tomatoes in my bedroom for almost a year now. Finally got enough light that the vines are growing, but even though there are flower buds the buds aren’t opening. Any ideas? Do they just need more light or is it a nutrient thing?

This started as a way to corner the locally-grown tomato market during the winter months, but has progressed to a personal challenge.

Getting a jump on the seasons here usually means beating the heat/insects/hurricanes! LOL

OTOH, we get 2 seasons a year on cold crops, sometimes 2 on warm season stuff. Cold stuff we can plant in Feb and then again in Sept. Warm stuff we can slide in around March, and sometimes July/Aug.

San Diego? Yuck!

The summer forecast for here is—hot, hazy, humid with a chance of afternoon showers. Every day. :)
