Maybe that is all they needed :-)<br><br>I planted all of my tomatoes this morning! Well, all except the Tim's Black Ruffles (I received those seeds in the mail today - so I planted them tonight). I'm hoping that I will have enough light for them to germinate in the window sills. We've had pretty good warm temps here for the last couple of days so when they start sprouting I will also take them outside for some fresh sunlight. <br><br>Just think, in about a month you'll be planting outside in the garden, eh? When will you be planting your potatoes?<br><br>JudyJudyhttp://ft2garden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872247640329823856.post-12666189934579249282008-02-04T15:31:25.000-08:002008-02-04T15:31:25.000-08:00Well, I wouldn't say they're doing better,...Well, I wouldn't say they're doing better, but if curing leggy (tall thin stems) seedlings means burying part of the stems and the roots below the dirt then I did well. If not I was confused. The verdict is still out on the light. They are in the window sill in my sons' room which gets decent hours of light, but only if it's "strong" enough. My mother thought I was crazy for going so far as to do the lights, but I may have to. Unfortunately I do not know. Further, if I have to direct sow all my broccoli and cauliflower, not only will I have a bumper crop with no staggering, but may not have the season for a spring planting. Not sure.<br><br>That's great about your tomatoes, I saw your blog entry and you're doing great, which I would expect from someone as experienced as yourself. However, I still don't understand what you're planning on doing with 500 lbs of tomatoes when all those plants start producing. My brother had 2 cherry tomato plants and his tomato loving family had to give gallon bags away left and right to keep ahead of those babies. The only reason I'm doing 2 is one will be early and the other will hopefully start producing when the other dies off. Otherwise I'll be bringing them to bad plays...<br><br>As for my potatoes... well, part of my problem is I don't have dirt, and I haven't built my bins yet. Two key ingredients. Other than that, I need to contact Territorial Seed Co. to find out if I can get seed potatoes in early March rather than after April 1. I know the Last Spring Frost for the area is "April 1" but according to the book, you plant potatoes 1 month before LSF. Territorial has two shipping codes, one as "After April 1" and two, "Ships ASAP" I need to find out what ASAP means. I like Territorial, but if necessary I'll call my local nursary and see where I can get them in March (and pick their brain if March is ok to plant them).adminnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872247640329823856.post-59349000002674015972008-06-26T03:09:47.000-07:002008-06-26T03:09:47.000-07:00[...] hot after the transplanting last night and f...[...] hot after the transplanting last night and frankly, all the time and energy I spent on them this weehttp://ft2garden.powweb.com/sinfonian/?p=21Passionate about Life &39n Spice...: One Stinking Flower ...May 8, 2008 ... yes, yes, yes.
