Too much of a good thing
This is only my second year of veggie gardening, and last year I wasn't very happy with my seed-starting results, and the final products were only so-so. This year, I wanted to try a bunch of tomato varieties to see what did the best and what I liked the most, and make those my standards going forward. So I got carried away at sampleseeds.com and ordered 17 varieties (don't even ask about the peppers and everything else!). I have room for... um... 17 tomato plants. I was nervous about germination, so I planted 4 seeds of each. Now I'm happy (sort of) to report that I got almost 100 percent germination. So I have 40-plus seedlings in danger of being homeless. It's breaking my heart! Of course I've been asking everyone I know if they'd like some plants, but only received a few half-hearted OKs. So my question is: Does anyone have any creative ideas for unloading unneeded plants?
