A Second Shot at Tomatoes

At some point soon, we'll post photos of what happened to our beautiful tomato plants. We thought we'd been neglectful, after taking 2-3 weeks of being away from home and regular watering. Fortunately, I came across an article in the SF Chronicle which absolved me of my guilt - apparently this year's unusually cold weather in SF has had a negative impact on tomatoes across the city.

Lucky for us, we planted an additional late batch of some heirloom seeds, which still have a shot at benefitting from San Francisco "summer" which is only now getting started. These guys are supposedly black krim heirlooms, which are supposed to be large beefsteak tomatoes. Looks like ours are a bit stunted, but hopefully they'll still be good.
