Re: Tomato Seed

Kim,
You can still grow good transplants in warm So. Calif.  I used to
live in La Crescenta and grew good ones.  The critical time for cool
temperatures is at night.  Calif. nights do cool into the low 60's
and high 50's.  If your indoor temps are running above 75 degrees in
the daytime, just turn on a small circulating fan and aim it at the
transplants.  It will cool and move stems--causing them to thicken.
There was a study done about fans and transplants--the air movement
created sturdier transplants.  Good luck.  Grow some interesting
varieties this year and experiment.  That's what gardening all about,
isn't it?  That and great tasting veggies!
