first tomato for 2015

and the winner is..... cherokee purple.  i have had a few sun golds, but according to farmer fred's rules - those dont count.  no worries.  so far watering once a week has worked out OK.  the coir and alfalfa mulch seem to be doing their jobs and we have had a string of very hot days.

who says you cant have a garden in a drought.  next year, maybe 6 tomato plants!
