Default 2013 "Little Farm" - And so it begins!

First plantings. None of the Husky Reds I planted went to germination...

I will try again when I start more seeds this weekend.

You're off and running. A quick suggestion.....next time, replace Brandywine with Sudduth
Brandywine. As I understand it, it is the same tomato but a better producing plant. BW
is notorious as a low producer....but GOOD!

Sure took some of these long enough to germ, where other were rather fast. The brandywine took forever and as you can see, not all popped. The husky red, I planted about 25-30 seeds and got very little in return.
