Wonderful looking plants ! Looks like they are ready to go in the ground.
I won't be starting my seeds till April 8th, for going outside in grow bags about May 25th. You are about 7 weeks ahead of me in N.E. Ohio. What varieties you got there ? |

So your season stàrts 6 weeks after mine. But you will have much longer harvest window. Ours will end in August due to heat. So it pays to get startepd early, down here.

Seeds started Jan. 1 and Jan 24. Many looking good. Poor success rate with grafting, but will be ok. The tall plants are variety called Big Hill by Joseph Lofthouse in Paradise, Utah. They are the fastest-growing tomato plants ever seen, hereabouts. Purchased his seeds for 2018 season. These particular Big Hill plants are grown from saved seed that was harvested in June, 2018. Wishing everyone a successful 2019 season.

Harry, I hope to hear your results from the Lofthouse tomatoes -- especially that cute little fern leaf seedling. Nice looking bunch of seedlings!

ddsack, Thanks. Have given away most of the variety Fern. Lofthouse's seeds did fairly well in last year's heat. Wishing you good growing.

Hi Gardeneer! We started our seeds within days of each other. I moved them to our heated GH the Middle of March. Looking for a great Tomato GH year!

Looking fabulous Gardeneer. Definitely looks like your plants are good and
ready for the final planting. What did you have to do to get them to this stage in the time since you sowed the seeds? Lee

My first experience starting tomato indoor in cold climate, I realize it's a bit more difficult compared to Florida. The seedlings aren't diseased, just need a bit more warmth, I can add another LED panel next year.
