I assume you guys really really love tomatoes. Laughing

Tomatoes are something I never in my lifetime enjoyed in any form or variety.. I simply do not care for them and yet my wife loves them.. But not nearly as much as you guys.

Can I make a suggestion of an idea for your property?

Get you several trail cameras that take photos of critters that TRIP the camera so ya can see what is around you all in your woods. Ya just might be surprised what is walking around at night and who knows, maybe ya might have a Saquatch up there... lol!!!!

Possibly some Bears and other four legged things..

It could be interesting. Make sure you arm Annie Oakley with plenty of ammo so she can thin out the population!

All in fun De,

micro....

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.
