Thanks to Trudi, I sowed a ton of toms for my elderly father who is doing a research project at Ohio State on tomatoes. He is most interested in purple toms, but is willing to try anything.

Go for it.

I'd give it a try, but only with short DTM types. Siberian is 57-70 days. Early girl is another that's short DTM.

I lost some a week ago and resowed some black krims and marglobes. The three black krims sprouted outside in five days, one marglobe came up in about 10 days. I'm going to do a late tomato bed with them so I have some fresher vines come late August, early Sept.

Oh, no! :) well you know I have extra seeds and also some extra plants (one is on my list for the swap...check it out :))......just not sure what other ones right now....I can get back to you, though.

Hopefully the seedlings will perk up. Tomatoes originate from the temperate regions of Peru, they are used to extremes of weather.

Anyway, if by the end of the weekend the plants aren't thriving send me an email with your address and a choice of seeds from YCTS, and I'll send some more out to you.

We got the same storm system you did -- with almost 4" of rain overnight Wednesday night. Today the tomatoes and squash I had planted are beginning to perk up. I had potted some tomatoes for my sale and had them in a tub. They were floating on their sides!!! They are perking up too. On a side note, I planted my WS celery safir today. What great root systems. I'm so impressed with the roots of everything. The plant may be tiny, but it's got great roots! I hope the plants perk up for you too.

FWIW, I started another batch of toms this past weekend due to losing an entire ream-paper box top of cups. Dang. Most of what I have are short DTM- nothing more than 70, I think. I have Marglobe, Grape, Early Oregon (or something like that), Gardener's Delight, Ildi, Early Wonder, Alicante...most from Tomato Fest. Marglobe, Grape & Oregon were purchased locally- Hart's seeds, as I recall.
