It's beautifully warm outside this week, high near 80. I just wonder whether nights to about 48 slowed things down. One thing I forgot is that compared to everything else I've grown so far, they were very slow to germinate until I placed the cups above the water heater. They were in styrofoam so they didn't get overly hot, just warmer. So they are a week or so behind the paste tomatoes to start with. Though, I did worry that something - the leaf mulch? temp? - was causing them to slow down.

I may scrounge up some empty two-liter bottles and cut the bottoms off and make individual cloches to get those temps up a bit. Saw that on YouTube.
