Planting Fall Tomatoes - August 4 at 9:00 a.m.

We will be having a group work morning at the Alamo Heights Community Garden this Saturday, August 4 at 9:00 a.m.  Our main project will be planting fall tomatoes.  We are asking for every adult to bring 1 tomato plant and a bag of compost/mulch as described below.  If you can’t come but want to contribute please make a donation to the City of Alamo Heights designated for the garden or leave a well watered tomato plant and bag of compost behind the shed on Friday or early Saturday.

Calvin Finch suggests determinate varieties of tomatoes for fall.  Buy a large plant ($3-$5 size, one plant per adult) from the following varieties.
Tycoon
Phoenix
Solar Fire
Sunpride
Heat wave
444
Celebrity

Also each family should bring a 40 pound bag of Gardenville compost/mulch.

These items should be available at the following nurseries.
Shades of Green on Sunset
Schultz Nursery on Broadway
Arbolito's on San Pedro
