LadyHawkw1, I found your most recent pure garden topic right here. It's a good one.
I've lived in southern California before when I went to Whittier College. It looks like you were doing winter Tomatoes, which you can do down there. You will still have better succes though with Tomatoes growing them as a spring to summer crop, perhaps seed to seed flat in January, and transplanting out in early March, uh, give or take on the times.
For your winter Tomatoes you'd probably get prettier tomatoes growing a variety called Stupice, or Glacier, and probably one of the strains of Yellow Pear. Early, cool hardy varieties for your winter Tomato crops. They are better with shorter days. These would be the ones you sprout from seed in August to October or so.
For your summer crops, try growing the more resistant varieties the southeast folks grow. They there can tell which ones are best for that. Peron, Porter, Ace 55, and some of those that have VFFNN as part of the name for hybrids. Lemon Boy stabilized seemed very resistant to practically anything to me whenever I grow them.
