Most of my "main" garden plants are still really tiny and just under lights. Some haven't been started yet. It's usually not safe until early June around here... we're still in the 20s at night. I'll post some more pics in a week or two though!

I love seeing the photos, it makes me smile and think of the glorious possibilities of SUMMER... warmth, sunshine and lots of tomatoes!

By the way, for those that haven't seen Craig's Dense Planting Method, check out his thread. It was a revelation to me for sure:

Zluta Kytice (new to me this year):

I thought Nevada was hot at this tome of the year. Am I wrong?

I love the colored pots. Makes the plants look happy and festive. All that color should put a smile on somebody's face.

Oh! How do you even pronounce those names. What is their country of origin? Both of those are a mouthful to try and say.

I thought Nevada was always hot too.

Most people think that Nevada is all like Las Vegas... it isn't!

I live in Northern Nevada and it is HIGH desert. We're at nearly 5,000 feet at the base of the Sierra Nevada, on the Eastern side, in its rain shadow. I'm less than an hour's drive from the North shore of Lake Tahoe.

Our winters are cold, very windy and usually snowy, although we have been in a drought so just cold and dry for the last couple of years. It's windy most of the time year-round. It's extremely dry here, and in the summer it's usually around 5-7% humidity, and we get 40-50° temperature swings most of the year, including in Summer, so it will swing from 50° at night to 100° in the daytime. Now? Mid-20s to mid-60s.

When we moved here, somebody told me that it has snowed here every month of the year at some time in the past. I believe it too! According to the charts, we have about 109 frost-free days per year. That's early June to mid-September or so.

Right now, we're experiencing the usual roller coaster temperatures. My broccoli is now dead, despite my covering it because we got three successive nights below 25° when a strong cold front came through. The kale and chard both look okay. Nothing else is out. Not even a tomato in a Wall O'Water. Too risky. Did I mention that I really want a greenhouse?

Kath, those are nice looking starts.

Brandywine Red Potato Leaf
Opalka
Yellow Pear
Black Cherry
Sioux
Box Car Willie
Black Krim
Silvery Fir Tree
Zapotec Pink Ribbed
Azoychka
Green Zebra
Red Rose (not an heirloom but came free with my order)

Robin, I did not realize how extra challenging your growing season was! And here I thought I had it bad with a shorter season than most. Now I am really amazed at how much you continue to accomplish with your dwarf project grow outs.

I don't plant as many tomatoes as some of you folks and they are all hybrids. Early Girl, Beefsteak, Porter House and Super Sweet 100's. I may get a couple of Big Beef plants closer to planting time, they did not have any seeds for them locally and I love the taste of them. I will keep 8 to 10 of the 27 plants and give the rest away, I hate to snip off the ones I won't use.
Fist two pics from 04/04/15 and 04/10/15 one angle and next two also from same dates different angle.

Must be nice to have green tomatoes already, mine aren't even in the ground yet and won't be for over a month.

I like very much the way the dwarves look: very thick stem
this is Rosella purple




and this is Lithium Sunset, the one I am looking forward to the most, very strong too and nice leaves

Early Girl makes her way to the second half of Texas tomato cage.
Only three more rungs to the top and the finish line.
It's Early Girl by a leaf.
