First year starting from seed and got them all out this weekend.
Peppers are in EB's and 12 Toms are in the new hybrid system with grow bags. I still need to set up my hybrid system for cukes, squash and zukes.

Looking nice!
Two question for you: 1) Are those 15 gallon fabric containers? 2) What varieties of tomatoes are you growing? |

10 bags are 15 gal and the first two on the right side are 10 gal. 5 of the 15 gal are square and 5 are round. I was sent the square ones by mistake and company sent me the round ones when I notified them. Like the round ones better. The round ones have draw strings to close up the top some. I need to modify the base a bit to give support wider out from center so bags don't sag off the side. This causes water to drip if the bag is below water level.
I have 2-Sun Golds, 2- Sun Chocola, 2-Super Sweet, 4 Big Beef, 1 Pretty in Pink and one surprise....could be any of the above but not sure which. When I was thinning seedlings I had pulled a few out and decided to put a couple into cells. I then realized I didn't keep track of what was what and thought it would be fun to see what I end up with.

I like the drawstring tops - that's clever!

Yes all varieties are new to me. I've only planted a couple plants for the last two years in EB's. This is the first year starting my own. Expanding this year.
