Future Tomatoes

These babies are Big Beef, Celebrity and Classica. The seed was a couple of years old in some cases and yet it looks like every one sprouted. These are growing in the float tray.

It wasn’t till last week that I realized I planted my tomaotes about a month earlier than I had planned to. I don’t normally plant them in the garden till mid May, these should be monsters by then. I am not sure what I was thinking, early March is not April 1st. Oh well early to plant…

We Have Sproutage!

This year’s Big Beef tomatos are making an entrance albeit slowly but surely. I ended up placing a heating pad (on low) half way under the plastic bin to bump up the temps a bit. I don’t know if that did the trick or not but according to the thermometer it added about 5 degrees.
