The 2013 Tomatoes.
http://www.durgan.org/URL/?NLDPS 5 February 2013 Tomato seeds.
Starting tomatoes for the 2013 season 9 January 2013. Selection is: Black Russian, Tomato Blue P20, Belaris Orange, Dora, Black Krim, An orange type name unknown. Some seeds were sent to me last year and were grown too late in the season to get a good crop, so are being grown this year. There is a total of around 30 plants, five of each type. The Seeds were started on damp kleenex to verify germination. Then were planted in separate containers. The containers are on a heating pad and will be utilized as required on very cool nights. Artificial lights are never used. Light is any convenient place until the plants can be placed in the small greenhouse, when it gets warm enough. http://www.durgan.org/URL/?ACHAC 26 February 2013 Tomato Growth (47 days) This is the growth to date. It has been exceptionally cold at night but my plants are thriving. There are more plants than the 30 or so that I need, which will be given to neighbours, when I pot up in about a month. http://www.durgan.org/URL/?ENRPD 5 March 2013 Potting Up Tomatoes As the tomatoes reach an appropriate size they are moved to a larger pot.
