LOL be careful! We aren't usually frost free until after April 20th. Lost a whole garden one year because I decided the frost was gone for the year. Should have listened to my neighbor who was waving his farmers almanac at me!

 

[Daisygirl]

Grr! My cherry tomatoes are not fruiting fast enough, and winter is in about three weeks!!!!

 

[Acre of Blessings]

Coyote.....I agree!! THe Farmers Almanac is usually right.

daisygirl hope your able to salvage some tomatoes


Has anyone else heard about hte cost of tomatoes going up, up, up and away?

 

[flgardengirl]

Yes I have heard that tomato prices would be going up and that much of Florida's commercial crop froze this winter and that they would have to rely on California crops.
