Hi everyone- Boy it is hard to believe it is mid May already- ! Has anyone ever tried growing purple tomatillos? I bought a good sized one today a the nursery and I wondered if I would grow it up a trellis just like a regular tomato or if it would do better in a container- like a determinate-  bush--not much info on the label. Made my mouth water tho and just had to have it- also bought a peach tomato and am anxious to taste that.
 
Saw several large hanging baskets filled with pear tomatoes and am wondering if anyone has had any luck growing  cherry and such  w this way- am running out of trellis and  have room to hang something - Hope everyone is having fun.All new vegies in the beds now-
 
Just found out the New Western Sunset Garden Book changed our zone form 9 to 14 due to some inercoastal currents or something I still don't quite get. The weather is the same- they are just classifying us differently. Odd to be a 14 after being a 9 for all these years!The nurseries haven't caught on yet and don't seem to know much that will grow in zone 14. " Zone 14? Where's that?"
 
The plants still think it is zone 9 and we all that live here in the hot Sacramento Valley know that what  it really means is -"full sun doesn't really mean full sun here unless you only mean morning sun or part sun,  or you mulch  and water heavily ,are above 1500 feet above sea level or are talking native plants that can take drought".
 
I feel oddly special being zone 14 now.Not sure what that means  yet but I will just keep reading I guess. New book is glorious by the way- got it for my BD -Kitty now a ripe 43 and getting riper.
