"A Gardener's Work Is Never Done..."

More Tomatoes?

At least in the San Diego climate, a gardener's work is never finished, because there's always something growing that needs attention, or planting, or fertilizing, or pruning, or... fill in the blank.

That's the down side to not having snow here; the gardener can't look out the window, sigh and say, "Well, I can't do anything out in the garden today" and go back to doing other things.

The current problem is that it's almost time for Cindy to start new tomato plants growing under the grow lights in the garage, but last year's tomato plants are still going strong.  The vines are looking a bit bedraggled, but they're tall, bushy and still producing tomatoes and tomato blossoms.  She picked nine ripe tomatoes this morning, about the same number yesterday, and there are at least triple that number still on the vine.

I guess it's a nice problem to have; we have fresh tomatoes, and we don't have to shovel snow.
