Tomato sowing, 4/18/20.
For various reasons, I decided not to do a big grow-out this year from any 2019 F2 seeds. Looking forward to doing that next year if all goes well.
This year I plan to have about 18 container tomatoes in the backyard.
They will be:
•46a2.3 F5, 55a1.2 F4, and 28d3.3 F4.
Each germinated well.
• Previous heirlooms: CA, FL (2016), BC, HC: also all germinated fine. HC had only 3 seeds left! but they all germinated.
Finally, I am growing two heirlooms I saved from Kroger!
• FB/Funky Bell : a red, small-to-medium, bell-pepper-shaped tomato. I guess the fruit weight was about 30 grams.
• TD/Tangerine dream: a medium slicer, very nice globe/beefsteak with orange-y color.
I sowed into standard seed starter mix, heat mat. Germination went fine. Also sowed basil, cilantro, and banana pepper plants.
Sowing was 4/18/20. Transplanted to cowpots, standard miracle-gro potting soil, around 4/24/20. Hardening off, then fully outside around 5/1/20.
