I really appreciate everyone's suggestions. I was too embarassed to ask my friend who had gotten me started in trying to grow my own tomatoes so I don't have to wait for the farmers market. This is my first time trying to grow tomatoes. With the different methods, I'm going to have to do a little experiment to see which works best.

LOL....It is not sad you ship out what you grow from your area. That is how we feed so much of the state and country is by the Bread Basket of California, but it is too bad you do not get some of it yourselves.

Humboldt only grows a few things in quantity. [1] Redwood trees. It all pretty much comes from Humboldt. A little from Del Norte and Mendocino. [2] Marijuana is HUGE here and in Mendocino and Trinity Counties. It has gotten so bad that much of our forests are no longer safe in the summer months. I won't bore you with our problems on this any more than the above. [3] Milk and Beef.

Oh yeah, did I mention I work in the Forest as a Wildlife Biologist. My biggest safety issue is not bears or mtn lions, it is pot growers.

I found the "How to Grow California Poppies" link a little more
than halfway down on the right especially amusing. (We get the
seeds in mixed wildflower packets, and by the second summer
after planting them it becomes obvious that the real question
is how not to grow California Poppies. The same goes for Shasta
Daisy.)
