Well, this is the rainy season here, but we are at 37 degrees latitude,
so we still have long enough days.

I understand about overwintering, but what about sowing now? I have some
seeds for extre-early tomato varieties like Kotlas and Siletz, and am
wondering when to sow them. Do you think they will fruit under plastic
here in, say, February if I start them soon?

Thanks for your help! I estimate that the non-irrigated part of my
garden is like Sunset zone 13, with the irrigated parts acting like
Sunset zones 21-23.
