Default February 2011 seedling Pictures

I planted some tomato seeds (rutgers, brandywine, super beefsteak, cherokee purple, and what I was told a German yellow/red. I planted on 2/14/2011 and started seeing signs of life on 2/18/2011. I tried to follow Craig's dense planting method like I did last year. Last year I had great success following Craigs advice using his method. I have attached a couple of pictures so you can see how they are doing. I actually started about 1 month earlier this year and I will plant more on about March 14. I am going to try to sell a few plants this year to recover some minor expenses. Take care everyone.

I did enjoy the McDonald's oatmeal the one time I tried it, but threw the container away! Great idea and I foresee several healthy breakfasts in my near future!!!

Yeah, that oatmeal is some good stuff, and the cups came in very handy.

Default Update on seedlings planted on Feb.14th

Here are a few pictures taken today Feb 28 2011 of 1 of my grandsons (he is a 3 yo) and tomato seedlings and peter peppers planted on Feb.14th. I try to encourage him with growing things. I hope he enjoys it when he get older.

They're looking great - I can't wait to get started, maybe today.

Where/to whom do you sell your extra plants?

I am going to try to sell a few locally. This is my first time selling tomato plants so I don't know how well it will turn out. I will see how this turns out and if all goes well I can go bigger next year. I am probably only going to sell about 150-200 plants hopefully. I don't know, we'll see how it goes.

I love using the coffee cups from McDonalds, they insulate the roots nicely.

Yes and especially the small coffee cups. They seem to work better for me. The oatmeal cups are good too.
