I got five baby brandywine tomato plants (started from seed.)

And one 'Parkers' growing outside. (Store bought with some size to it. Hoping it don't get frosted to death.)

I also bought six little ichiban eggplants.

My cascabella peppers have not hatched yet.

I started planting seeds today. Mostly tomato. I learned last year that planting seeds too early results in spindly, unhealthy seedlings. Five or six weeks should be right.

This year, I'm cutting back a bit, focusing mostly on varieties I haven't yet grown successfully. A total of 15 tomato varieties, with one planter set per variety, six pots per planter set, two seeds per pot. If they all sprout and I thin half, I'll wind up with 90 plants. Varieties follow:

Purple Calabash 2A1
Striped Stuffer 2B1
Chocolate Stripes 2C1
Ace 55 2D1
Homestead 24 2E1
San Marzano 2F1
Marglobe Improved 2G1
Roma (from the Heirlooms) 2H1
Black Krim 2J1
Beefsteak Red 2I1
Honeycomb Hybrid 2K1
Volunteer Red Cherry 2L1
Roma (from a store vegetable) 2M1
Kerry’s Tomato (A slice frozen since Sept 2017) 2N1
Determinate Rutgers 2P1

Also one planter set of marigolds, harvested from a gas station pot last year. As I recall, they looked a bit different from the ones I've been growing, but I don't remember much about them other than that.
