    Another great tomato that’s for the Bay Area, & from the Bay Area! ‘Lucinda’ is a Baia Nicchia original (www.baianicchia.blogspot.com) – a bushy, productive plant that shares the color & flavor of ‘Green Zebra’, & the early fruiting & dissected leaves of ‘Silvery Fir Tree’, a Siberian variety. The fruit is baseball sized, & stripey green. Exciting! Here’s our public service announcement about good tomato culture: try your best not to cave to the impulse to plant in February! Tomatoes really prefer to get in the ground when they have warmer nights to help them grow. Late April, May, June are fine months to plant. Water deeply, but not often, & if you grow your tomatoes in containers, make sure that they’re at least 5 gallons in size. Rich soil, of course, & good sun!
