Ferida Wolff's Backyard Series: Tomatoes For All
Editor's Note: We, too, in California planted tomatoes both of the cherry variety and smaller size full-size from a nursery named Sweetwater Nursery near the capitol of California, Sacramento that provides plants to our supermarket. The description of their nursery includes:
Since 1977, Sweetwater Nursery has been whole-heartedly dedicated to providing organic herb, vegetable and flowering plant starts. To preserve biodiversity they specialize in both traditional and heirloom varieties well suited to particular microclimates. Most of the varieties they grow have been trialed on their certified organic farm in Sebastopol, California. They operate their business using sustainable practices, including:
- Using biodiesel to fuel their delivery trucks
- Using solar power to run the nursery
- Earth friendly pots
- Growing much of their seed on their organic farm
Their cherry tomatoes and tarragon ... superb.
