Seedlings lookin good

The photos tell the story. I can't believe the progress from just one week ago.


Next one is from 22 Jan. Lots of progress in 12 days.

I am getting excited, this is going to be a great tomato year. I am going to get a new role of crw (roll of strong wire mesh) TONIGHT and will be prepping for the next month.

    Looking great Janice. I've got a least 3 weeks before I start.

    Yours are looking very nice and healthy, Janice. I had some issues at the beginning with some yellowing of leaves, but it looks like my seedlings are doing just fine.

    I'm not keeping them all, probably give some away and some will be kept for replacing plants when something happens. I'm growing some of the same ones as you, we will have to see how they do in different zones.

    Thanks. I have twelve plants in that small set (about 2 per cell). I have another 48 just sprouting. I found some old seeds(Rutgers), and bought some more I found locally(Black Krim). I have at least 24 varieties and planted a little extra to make sure I have enough. If I have too many, the neighbors have a new gardening interest, so I will share. I even planted extra sun golds and big beefs for them.

    That's a lot of seedlings there Kevin. Looks like at least 200. And they are looking good.

    Mine would like some sunshine, but I will need a warmer day than today. High of 45.

    Good looking seedlings you have there Janice! I'm also in 8b but not as brave, lol. I'll start mine in a couple of days. I don't have room or time for a lot of tomato plants, so I will only have about 20 this year. Eight favorites and the rest are new early sweet varieties. Still looking for my perfect tomato plant, for some reasons I can't get them to produce well, especially a large ones.

    Happy growing and keep us updated!

    Thanks. Elena, I certainly understand the quest for the perfect tomato.

    Hoosier, I like photographing tomatoes as much as I like eating them, maybe more.

    Janice, your bigger seedlings look great.

    Yeah, Kevin, that is amazing number of very good seedlings. Mine are doing ok. I keep the temperature low, cause I want them grow slow and stocky. I have plenty of time until my early plant out; that is around March 15th. The weather has been real good so far and the 15 day forecast looks even better. I hope March will follow the suit.
