Oh, awesome to hear habitat g! I'm in Central Valley, and yes, the temps in the night go down into the 30's (frost this last week!) and up into the 40's this next week. Wow, 4' by April 17! Here, the last official frost date is around tax day.

I had the same results as you last year...it was odd.

I would LOVE to have toms by June!

This year my plant list is:

C-Tex
Goose Creek
KBX
Black Trifele
Marianna's Peace
Indian Stripe
Super Italian Paste
Speckled Roman
Black Cherry
Tigerella
Carbon
Berkeley Tie Dye
Beauty King
OR117
Black Krim
Black Zebra
Sungold
Lemon Boy
Coustralee
Mikado
Purple Cherokee
'Red' Cherokee

and two that were mis-named or ?. One was supposed to be Purple Cherokee from the nursery, but is red, and I've grown it and saved seed for a couple of years now. Another I had seed called it Burrakers from a trade, but it's not, but both are good producers and tasty!

I got seed here for Yellow Submarine and Tom's Yellow Wonder, but the seed never came up. Darn. Next year!
