This years tomatoes

Aphid · March 26, 2011

so far 100% success with germination , planted seeds 3 weeks ago
90% sprouted within 5 days the remainder within about 8 days
all have true leaves now with avg height 4-6 inches ,(the Tidwell is more like 8") I planted them up to 4 inch solo cups today.

I normally use jiffy mix , but had a hard time finding some and only had a partial bag left so I mixed it 1:1 with miracle grow starter mix.

can't complain except I don't like the consistency of the Miracle grow ,,it was full of chunks and twigs .It was really hard to even see where a seed dropped !

I kept everything at 80f than dropped to 70f ,once sprouted. they received a light dilution of seaweed/fish liquid after 2 weeks and once transferred.

Lincoln Adams
Purple Dog Creek
Red Boar
Big Sungold Select
Haley's Purple Comet
Pink Berkley Tie Dye

I also had some Criolla pepper seeds that I tossed in and they are happy but it's going to be a while till they can go outside.
