Holy crap!!! You did start early didn't you?!?

They look really good but man your going to have some large plants when it finally comes time to move them to their home outside.

They do look really healthy, Great job!!

Well, if worse comes to worst and they become overgrown and start having issues in the coming five or six weeks, it'll still be early enough to start over!

Root the suckers in 3 or 4 weeks and those will be more manageable for plant out.

Just about everything made it to gardens this year. The Black Krims are right around 3' and have multiple tomatoes growing. I contributed to over 10 gardens this year! Have had fresh herbs for awhile. Learned about so many things. I will post some decent photos, when I get some time. I have already had multiple ripe tomatoes that tasted fantastic! The pesto! Lol

Here are a few quick photos! I have enjoyed starting things from seed so much. I have actually ordered a few different varieties. My tiny Tim variety, seems to have kicked off the fastest. I added a couple pictures, of some different things, I moved outside as well. I thinned out around 80 torpedo onions, around the strawberries, a batch of mixed beans are doing good, and the basil, well it has been tasting good since March. lol

Wow, everything looks great! Those little Tiny Tims are the prettiest plants, and I just loved the color of them when they were ripening. They were this almost opal peach color at one point. I can't believe you're picking tomatoes already. That's not normal for your zone, is it? It's because you started them so early? Color me impressed.

Not exactly normal for Ohio's growing season. This is my first year of serious, starting seeds indoors. I started way too early! I have had many gardens in the past though. So I am used to transplanting. Some seeds I started in February. Where I am located, plants going outside. Wasn't really safe until just past weekend. I've gotten over a 1/4 pound of basil harvested so far though! I still have a few plants inside under lights, but that's dwindling down. Unless I decide on dwarf tomatoes and herbs inside.
