Help with identifying tomato seedlings

16 years ago

Hello, I planted some tomato seedlings a few weeks ago hoping to get a head start on growing. I planned to plant the cherry tomato plant in pots and the early girl tomato in the ground so knowing what seedlings they are would have been great...but...in all my excitement, I forgot to label the seeds...this is my first season growing these varieties, so I'm not familiar with what the seedlings look like. I can see that one variety has sharper leaves and the other has rounded leaves. Can someone help me identify them?

They are either Early Girl or Cherry Vine Bush variety.

Thanks!

I don't think anyone can safely ID your seedlings! We always have a few people who forget to label their seedlings (and they aren't always newbies!) who plaintively ask the same question!

That said, your seedlings look fine and healthy!

No one can be sure but I would bet on the bottom picture being Early Girl.

Plant maybe two more of each. LABEL THESE. Now observe the
new ones as they develop and match them to the older plants, which you may label when you have concluded an identification.

Then, if you decide you have extra plants you can make a friend very happy with a gift!

God Bless,

You might also want to cut back on your watering so they won't be so yellow. ;)

Top picture = the Cherry Vine Bush

Bottom picture = the Early Girl

Suggestion: Give them a mild shot of fertilizer. The cotyledons are played out. Give them something with a high middle number (phosphorus) and a lower first number (nitrogen). A mild dose, nothing full strength. Then hold them under whatever light you've been using because it looks very sufficient, but submit them to cooler temps like 55 - 65*F to keep them stocky and not let them grow to fast and get leggy.

Looking real good! Have a good growing season.
