>> Rick, that's what we refer to as "good sleeping weather."
Sandy, I agree. Even if the day DOES manage to get "hot" (anything above 75F), the nights are deliciously cool. Compared to CT, NY and NJ, summers in the coastal PNW are great. The the winters are paradisaical by comparison!
Woofie, I'll add "Sweetie" to the list of cherry tomatoes I want to try someday.
(And I also top-water seedlings occasionally, to be sure that the top layer stays moist, and any salts tend to flush downwards instead of accumulating. I figure that the cotton flannel I put under the trays will wick away excess water. P.S. Bark doesn't crust.)
Cherry Tomatoes I want to try:
Sweetie
Santa Cherry
Sub Arctic Cherry
Ildi
Early Cascade
Sweet Million (died on me the first time I tried a plant)
Gold Nugget
Golden Rave
Chocolate Cherry
Black Cherry
Black Pearl
Non-cherry varieties, early and/or cool:
