Orange County/San Diego members?

bugsy · January 23, 2011

I would love to start a plant swap with people in my area. Anyone out there?

**coronabarb** · April 20, 2011

bugsy, where are you? I'd love to have a tomato tasting event in So Cal this yr.

cbadcali · April 20, 2011

I would love to attend a tasting/swap. I'm sure many Tomatovillians live in So. Cal. Let's try to have one. I'm in Carlsbad. There are too many tomatoes to try and definitely not enough time...

**coronabarb** · April 20, 2011

Let's see who all responds and go from there. I set up the original NORCATT several yrs ago. Will have to search through the brain cells to remember tips/pitfalls. We will have to figure out when the most tomatoes will be ripe and meet somewhere that it isn't too hot. :-)

Count me in on a local tasting event! Keep me posted, Barb!

I'd be interested in an event this summer.

heirloomdaddy · April 23, 2011

I'm in!

MANY varieties to bring too

bugsy · June 26, 2011

Well, sorry I didn't check this thread sooner. I didn't think there was interest. Miserable year so far. That said, my Wes, Black Cherry and Rostova are producing nicely.

What about you guys?

materlvr · June 26, 2011

bugsy, it's been a miserable year for me, too! At this time I probably won't have ripe tomatoes until early August, if that. And I planted out April 10th! Been too cold and damp in the mornings. Plus, I have something going on with my plants, the dreaded yellowing leaves with brown polka dots is making it's way up the stalks. What a disappointing year!

Sun City Linda · June 26, 2011

Bad year for me too. Something spotty after all the cold weather, maybe bacterial speck. Lately, been using sulfer dust for what I think is tomato russet mites. Have the symptoms, but cant find a stong enough lense to confirm. Need 14X. Reif Red Hearts were quite early. Bloody butchers, and some cherries. But, I babble....

I too am interested in tomato event! LInda

Hi, Linda! I'm sorry you're having a bad season too. It's such a disappointment. I'm looking for early seeds to try and get a small harvest of Stupice, Kimberly and Wonder Boy before December. I'm desparate for some good tomatoes.

Elizabeth · June 28, 2011

I'm in San Diego (near Mission Bay), and a get together like this sounds fun

I have 15 varieties planted, and many green fruit, but so far have only picked two from my Moskvich a couple of weeks ago (which were pretty darn yummy!). The rest are taking their sweet time getting ripe. I'm worried that black spot is going to take out a couple of the potato leaf ones before I get a harvest, but hopefully now that June gloom is burning off the plants will bounce back some so I will have a nice variety.

I'm in! Just picked a 1.3 lb. Omar's Lebanese!
