We can make up a big trophy and have a presentation ceremony. Right now, I think Cereus and Alternate are running neck and neck. Oh come on! The list was slow and won't pick up until spring planting time. ;-) For those that have good sunny windows (and no cats), or greenhouses, now is the time to start seeds! I'm considering trying tomatoes from seed this year. I usually cheat and buy started plants but they don't always have the varieties I want. How many seeds should I put into, say, a 1" starter plug pot? One tomato seed per pot, and plant a few extra pots in case some don't come up or they damp off or get eaten by cats. You can usually give away extra tomato plants. Don't plant them too early. They start out slow, but then grow tremendously fast and get difficult to manage. Best regards, Bob So when would you recommend? Here in Texas, I can usually stick them in the ground about the end of March. I've never tried from seed so don't know how fast they grow? I've got plenty of 4" and 1 gallon pots to transplant if I have to. :-) I've had good results starting them 5 or 6 weeks before they go in the ground. Tomato seed is pretty reliable - if you plant 20 you're likely to get 20. Kate |
