2018 plants
 

here's a pic,of this years tomato and pepper plants sitting in garage, pretty chilly this morning, hopefully can get them hardened off this week.---tom

Nice looking bunch you've got there. How many total?

Nan

108 tomatoes and 63 peppers.

Yikes! How many do you keep? I grew about the same number of toms, but I'm planting 67 and the rest go to family & friends.

Nan

only about 9 toms lol and 3 peppers, the rest i give away, lol said i wasn't going to do it again but i did, last year i had 14 plants in RGGS and was a bit too crowded , so going with 8 and 1 in ground. can't help it if i get 99.9 % germination, and can't toss any out! lol---tom

9 and 3, out of 108 & 63! :lol: What will you do with the rest? Do you have homes for them? I start tomato plants for family & friends.

One year I took extras to a food bank, with instructions on how to grow the plants. They all got taken.

Nan

yes the neighbors get a few, along with kids and my sister, then i bring all the rest to the U.P. of Mi. for people up there, might even have a space to plant more for me up there, they said they would watch them while i wasn't there, (think that means , they'll eat them for me! )---lol -tom

Yes, "watchers" do get fringe benefits!:lol: That's one way to get to grow more plants- give to others & you at least get to taste them, decide if you like it well enough to grow it yourself. What varieties of tomato do you have?

Nan

You are worse then me! I kept 50 out of 250. Last year I said I was not going to keep all those extras. Bit it is so difficult to throw out small plants.

I have trouble throwing out any. For example, I had a helmet head and I pulled the head off. Rather than throw it away, I decided to see what would happen. After many days, voila! leaves began to appear and then more. My question was answered and my patience rewarded. It's also a volunteer.

Jon :D

I know exactly what you mean. I'll provide several friends and neighbors of tomato and pepper plants. Next year I 'll do better... I hope

here's a list of types i grew and the number i ended up with lol, orange russian 117 did'nt germinate this year last year had a great harvest of them, lol---tom (colored #'s are ones other people want and how many so far)

A good looking list.:yes::yes: But you're gonna have a lot left over for the food bank or a community garden, or something. Clearly, you need to enlarge your garden.:lol:
