Cutting back! I thought I was doing too many varieties.....nothing to match yours. I am still looking for a deep red main crop.

The only new one for me this year is Big Rainbow. I won't plant until April.

BUT! How many seeds did you plant of each?
I noticed, while getting everything ready for planting Wednesday, that I only have 4 seeds of Opalaka left, should've ordered, but if only two come up, that will be a lot of seeds saved for next year.
Shh, don't tell anyone- but now I have to decide among the over 100 varities, which ones to plant. I'm going to severly limit myself this year on plants (I AM, I AM) because I'll have so much of the garden torn up building the raised boxes.
Planting Wednesday because of favorable moon signs, might not apply to seeds started in the house, but I need all the help I can get!
William, how did your seeds do that you planted just before the storm hit?

ceresone, what zone are you in? I am curious that you are a month or more ahead of me in planting. When do you plant outside? I am referring, of course, to tomatoes!

I think I'm the same as you, Gldno, sorry if my post sounded as if I was planting outside? Starting tomatoes on my rack, on heat matt and under lights. I'm being brave if I set them out in the garden on May 1--I usually feel safe about May 10, but one year lost to a frost on May 15.
I'm thinking of experimenting next year, and planting seeds of various vegetables in the fall, including tomatoes-right in the garden where I want them.

I don't even start mine under the lights until April and I wait until May 10 or later.

the seeds i planted before the storm were all peppers. have about 30 % germination. had no electricity for 11 days.
on tomatoes, planted about 6 seeds of each. will give most away, only have enough room for 25 - 30 plants.

See? I've really cut back, and going with some tried and true favorites. I have lot's of seed in the freezer, so if I get a few beds done in time, I may "test" a few more.
I don't smoke, drink, or swear, but I sure understand addictions-or is it that I don't understand addictions, and cant free myself from "Garden" addictions. I spend all spring working and planting, all summer dragging in the bounty, fall so glad to see it end----then all winter with seed catalogs, feeding my habit.

ceresone- a very colorful lineup. hope they all do well for you.

Tomatoes are an HEALTHY habit though Ceresone.
Nevertheless, I'm proud of you both for cutting back. lol
Still looks like you'll have plenty.
