Oh yes, they're great! I've had success in the past actually maturing tomatoes by Memorial Day. Most people around here are happy to have them by the 4th of July!

They say the wall'o'waters will protect tomato plants down to 16 degrees, but once it got down to 14 after I had planted. I lost one plant and another was frozen back to about half, but the other four were just fine!

I'll bet they'd do well for a container tomato too.
And protect potted fruit trees.

Is Moneymaker the same as the Mortgage Lifter?

no Deb. Two completely different varieties.

Thanks-I thought it was one variety-maybe called by something else in other countries.

I live in upstate New York, Kristy. Does that answer your question? eek

We have two seasons here.. winter and the 4th of July. Which is when it looks like I'll be planting. [/b]
YES...my ground is still way to muddy to do anything...It was starting to dry out just a bit and I had hope...But then it rained all night Friday and all day Saturday...So there went my hope for being able to do anything very soon outdoors.

Miracle Grow would be fine...there is one just for tomatoes, but the all purpose one would work fine also or something along those lines...just be sure to dilute it alittle, as these are small seedlings you are fertilizing.

I'm waiting for this northern cal weather to calm down, had snow fall down below 1000ft level. Not common for sacramento. Redding is snowed in, along with Grass valley and Truckee Duh

I just want some temps that are ABOVE freezing!! Here we have ICE...not very healthy to plant in!! I have most of my seeds and I started them inside, but I so much want to get them in the ground! Alot of the ones I want to get in the ground are carrots/radishs and such like that. I envie all of you getting yours into the ground this soon or even by March. It doesn't look like I'll be getting anything into the frozen dirt andtime soon!! ters

Chrissy, a friend of mine lives in Placerville, and she's mad about the temps too.
