I start my seedlings outdoors, where they get full sun until about 2 hours before sunset. And plenty of wind.
These are 9-day-old Heidi seedlings in the front that were transplanted into their own cups yesterday, with older seedlings (mix of Green Zebra, Riesentraube, Eva Purple Ball) behind. ![]() Closeup of the Heidi seedlings. I think they've been my fastest and strongest growing babies yet, and they germinated especially quickly too. ![]() These were Opalka seedlings that are also 9 days old, although they only started to catch up to Heidi yesterday and were separated into cups today. They're pretty floppy! ![]() And here are some older ones that are ready to put in the ground wherever I get around to it. I have Green Zebra, Riesentraube and Eva Purple Ball that were started sometime in December. These are my slow growers because most are in the ground. There's also a purchased German Queen and Yellow Pear in there, and purchased chili peppers in the back. ![]() I've also got Stupice that I started with Heidi and Opalka but took an extra two days to germinate, and some seedlings I saved from a couple grocery store tomatoes that tasted especially good (a round, medium orange and black pear-shaped cherry).

They look nice Alexita. I hope they do well with all this heat and humidity! I fear it is already too hot.

It's been so hot... I have low expectations until November, but I gotta keep busy somehow!

I am taking mine outside, for hardening off this Tuesday, March 29th.
In about a week or 10 days I should be able to plant out, weather permitting. It has been almost 5 weeks when I sowed the seeds. Gardeneer |

Here are a few shots from the GH. Had my first enemy bugs on one of my Goldman's Italian American.
20160329_082526-resized-800.jpg These GIA are the best of the bunch this year, they all look like this. 20160329_082854-resized-800.jpg 20160329_083814-resized-800.jpg And Fuzzy Wuzzy is certainly fuzzy. 20160329_083222-resized-800.jpg |

I see the PU, but how do you transport that many tomato plants if there is more than a single layer for the bed? |

They all fit in there, its the long bed XLT and I can fit 12 flats of 18 and since I have never sold that many in 1 day at market at this stage it is enough. I just use wood slats over a tarp and screw it down to the truck to protect them from wind, works great. I would eventually like to get a small enclosed trailer and build shelves inside but that is a long way down the road.

Thanks, I didn't realize it was the big bed. I have a little Mazda PU and an even much smaller Dodge ram, so if I ever did plants at like the flea market, would have to figure out a shelf of some sort.
