Yesterday I got 15 tomatoes seeded, all different varieties. Nine are from previous MMMM swaps, either first time or collected from tomatoes grown from those. Another thank you to those who donated those seeds!

Nice! Good luck!

Nothing in your list I’m also growing.

Yah good luck

yes its time.
i have the old seeds planted, too soon for those to come up.
i have a few micros up and about ready to transplant. still deciding on
which dwarfs to plant. i am leaning toward a dozen varieties of them and
a dozen indeterminates, a mix of tried and true, and sumthin new along with
some cherry tomatoes. might not be cutting back this year.

that should be uncle steve italian, not hallen on your list there by the way.

@rxkeith , I'll make the change. If I remember, the paper it was written on was a bit rumpled and, well, you now how pharmie handwriting goes sometimes.

I have no idea what you are talking about.


Keith

Mine are also coming up. The new seeds are doing well; the old seeds are not...typical.

just planted the main croppers.
its always a chore deciding. i have far too many varieties.

anna russian
armenian
bear creek
bulgarskoye chudo
honey and sugar
mama helen f5 determinate from my anna russian cross. this one is 4 to 5 oz. pink, very large broad leafed plant
maglia rosa
matina
milkas red bulgarian
sheryls portuguese red heart
uncle steve
wladecks back for a second year in a row.

all of the above i have grown before. bear creek died before producing anything
so last 4 seeds have been planted.

still to plant 6 cherry tomatoes in another week.
more decisions.


keith

Planted seeds for 6 varieties today. Never have I ever had so few plants EVER. Oh well that is what happens when you get old.

Purple Russian is my favourite - large clusters, medium size so good for eating straight of the bush, cutting for a salad or slicing for a sandwich, and sooo sweet and flavoursome!

My Canadian Heart seeds have failed to germinate. Will wait a few more days then replace them with Kosovo.

of the main croppers, my mama helen f5 have refused to germinate.
armenian has just now started to pop up. don't know how that one is
going to go yet.
cherrys got seeded yesterday. couldn't limit myself to 6 varieties, so i now
have nine started.
ones i have grown before are
alston everlasting
dinkovinka
medovaya kaplya
sun gold

new to me
carbon copy
green zebra cherry
pearly pink
sweet hearts hybrid
unas

i will have to figure out where to put them all.

I have seedlings in my Aerogardens. I feel like I am super late, but last year I didn't get to plant until nearly July. These guys are going out by mid-May, no matter what I have to do to facilitate it. I am crushed because I didn't get my "real" greenhouse in this year, but I can't just skip a year. Who knows how many I have left?

@Yak54. What is the weight of that large bi-colour tom in your photo?

Largest tom I ever grew was 28 oz., a "Rose" from Johnny's years ago.

BlackKrim….The tomato in my Avatar is a slightly over 32 oz Lucky Cross from 2020

Hooray ! after 12 days finally 2 seeds of my Canadian Heart seeds germinated out of 10 seeds planted.
