Nine days since the seeds were planted and they are putting out their second set of leaves. They are beautiful dark green healthy plants! So far so good!

Yes, please keep us posted! I've been considering ordering one of these, but I wasn't sure how well (if it did) work.

It's a cold wintry day, so I thought a touch of spring and an update on the hydroponic tomatoes might be in order.

I planted these on January 8th.

Here they are on January 27th. There were 3 or 4 seedlings per spot at this point.

And here they are today, February 2nd. This shot is after they have been thinned, to a single seedling per spot.

Here is the largest plant (on February 2nd) photographed beside a 1 cup measuring cup to show the actual size.

I'm really pleased with the way they look so far. Kinda make your mouth water for spring, summer, and red, juicy, ripe tomatoes, doesn't it?

so, how were the tomatoes that they produced?

Somewhat disappointing, but mostly because my husband gave them a 'haircut'. He does that to the tomatos in the garden on the theory that then the sunlight can get through and the tomatoes will ripen faster. In this case, he cut off most of the stems that would have borne fruit. We did eventually get ripe tomatoes though, which were a treat in the winter!
