Nice! To hear you are planting now makes me feel that spring is closer. I loved 0-33 last year. Hope you are feeling better soon.

So sorry you are sick. Get well soon! I have been following this thread lots of great info, thanks to all. I'm starting seed now also. I usually begin starting dwarfs and determinates right after Thanksgiving. So far Dwarf Artic Rose, Pearly Pink Orange, Danko and Silvery Fir Tree.

Vladimir, I'm just getting back online after going missing in action, a computer problem,so I hope you are feeling better every day and that the antibiotic you are taking works well.

Where I am the infection that is going on now is Mycoplasma pneumonia, aka walking pneumonia, not very good antibiotics for mycoplasma's so you end up coughing and sneezing and sweating continually for several months until your own immune system gets with it.

Carolyn, who had it several decades ago,so she knows from personal experience.

I'm OK. Seeds of tomatoes germinate in order. Seeds of Sarayev Otbor 1 I treated with hypochlorite, germinated excellent, but if it helps against the bacterial spot, it will be seen in the garden.
From each of the ten varieties, I will have two plants and I will follow them as well as last year. Plants should be behind the window until the first small berries, so I sent them a month earlier than last year.
The first transplanting next week until the cotyledons compare to the horizontal position (I always do that). I plant the seedlings as deep as possible, four in one pot. At this stage, the transplanted seedlings create a beautiful root system.

So I have the plants transplanted into crucibles in four. Iceberg seeds germinated me, so I will have two vacancies in the hotbed. I decided to put two dwarves at these two places: Dwarf Blazing Beauty and Sleeping Lady or Wherokowhai. I enjoyed their beautiful fruits very much this year. Today I'll sowing.

Giant tomato DTM 49 days, it does not seem to me. Can anyone confirm that this is true?

WOW, 49 days? That can't be right, I'm not believing it.

I thought it takes about 40 days for a tomato to turn red once formed or something close to that.

If that's true those seeds are too cheap, they need to be in the magic bean catagory.

It is 49 days after planting outside, so about 42+49=91 days from germination. Still very early, if true.

Aren't the days-to-ripe always figured on planting out time?

DTM is used in your location. In our country an indeterminate term is used- very early- it can mean 49 days as well as 60 days. If I understand DTM means days to maturity. Days begin to count when the flower blooms (maybe when it is pollinated) and ends when the tomato is fully ripe. What is written in the catalogs of companies is one thing, but interests me the DTM in the gardens of Tomatoville members. And I'd like to wait for that
