Default February Dwarves Undercover

I just planted 8 varieties in the greenhouse today. They are: Hobbitt, Swarze Tomate, Mountain Princess, Sophie's Choice, Roza Vetrov, SFT (Carolyn's favorite so I am going to save seed for her, maybe even Fedex some fruit to her when they are ripe), Siberian and Grushovka. Here they are in 5 gallon grow bags.

Earl-Wish I could take credit for it-but with good seed, good potting soil, add tomato tone and bokashi fluid as a soil drench-thats it.

I have faux in a 5 gallon bag-transplanted today-it will sit in the greenhouse getting big for about 5 weeks-also have polish, polish c, brandy boy, kosovo, amish red, sicilian plum, prue, and 2 others I cant remember. Trying to get a head start on the heat.

Healthy looking plants! Neat setup, too.

How long do these grow bags last? How often do you re-use them?

Spatz-I have used them for about 5 years. After the growing season, I clean them with a mild bleach solution and rinse them. Thats all, and I think one or two ripped from mis-handling by me. Other than that, they are still going. I know Patrina got some grow bags from somewhere, you might contact her to see what she got if you are interested.

They look great! I just ordered some of the grow bags from there as well. I just started sowing my seeds for the greenhouse varieties.
