Tomato

I’m anticipating a shipment of tomato plants today from Territorial Seed Co. They’ll go in the ground this weekend, sharing some space with the Roma I planted a month ago.  Pineapple, Cherokee Purple, and Chocolate Cherry.  In other garden news, the hop vines are coming up and the artichoke is doing pretty well.  Last year I planted two Globe Artichokes and neither made it.  Speaking of not making it – the Hass Avocado I planted two weeks ago?  I kinda forgot to water it and it has dropped a lot of leaves.  I rigged up a high tech watering device – a 5 gallon bucket with a 1/16″ hole at the bottom.  I fill it and let it slowly water the roots.  I hope it makes it…
