If you let your plant wilt due to lack of water, then water, then let it wilt again, then water there is a good chance you will have some "Blosson end rot" (dark spots on the bottoms of the tomatoes) Common in container tomatoes.
Whether in the ground or in a container, I suggest you use a moisture meter to check when to water. The small tomato plant you see I just planted about a week ago and I have some empty containers ready for new plants. I like to stagger them so they just keep coming.
Any difficulty finding "Sweet Success" seeds to plant, let me know.

She spoke to a max capacity crowd that filled the Casa’s Main Salon. Her lively talk featured information on varieties, uses, history and growing tips. She infused her slide show with demos on pruning and propagating and inspired with examples of easy DIY projects.
In addition Kathleen brought in beautiful, fragrant, live, planted varieties of lavender for a lovely visual display. Hand-outs allowed for audience members to take valuable information home.
Kathleen graciously gave additional attention to a handful of audience members who lingered beyond the conclusion of her lecture, wanting to know more!

About Orange County Master Gardeners: their number one priority is to provide residents of Orange County with up-to-date, practical and sound gardening advice that they can use. Each master gardener has graduated from a UC Cooperative Extension master gardening program.
About the Duck Club: the Audubon House previously served as the old bunk house for the two hunting clubs, the Duck Club was used as a gathering place for the hunters. They would build a roaring fire in the fireplace and share stories over dinner. The next day they would head out early in the morning to hunt. It is now provided as a meeting facility for non-profit organizations.
