It's the beginning of May and gardeners of all sizes are coming out of hibernation. Nurseries are full of 'em ... backyard farmers wondering what kind of tomatoes they should grow this year. Last year's crop was disappointing for even experienced tenders, but this year holds high hopes for full-flavored red fruit. (Botanically, a tomato is the ovary, together with its seeds, of a flowering plant. Therefore it is a fruit or, more precisely, a berry. More than you wanted to know?)
Harmony Nursery in Sebastopol offers a long row of starter tomato varieties. How can we single out the best ones for our small potted garden, when one-of-each would be the natural (indulgent) choice?!
Hmmmmmmmm. Spending all that time with all those tomatoes ... a new variety is born ... the Pegmato!
