Lynnwood WA: Time To Wrap Those Tomatoes UP!

Lynnwood summer ending so soon?

Well, it looks like summer might be creeping off once again right when we feel like we finally got a little bit of heat - am I the only one here feeling this way? Gardening is always a particular challenge for me with the shorter growing season here, but I also like to start things from seed.

Trying to keep them going...

I started my tomatoes from seed in January - I finally got one tomato last week and many more on the way..maybe. Looking at all of the rain we have gotten lately makes me think I should wrap the tomatoes up to protect them from the early fall it seems we might get. I have them in the warmest part of the yard and it might not be enough and I just can't bare another year of green tomatoes!!!

Anyone else? What are you doing to make sure you get your juicy red tomatoes before the snow hits?

I noticed the guy down the street who has corn that towers over mine has his tomatoes all tucked into a clear plastic wrap - maybe that might help, but covering them from the rain has got to be vital, too...
