Tomato season started today, I’m excited about the lineup. I’ll grow four of these and find someone to give the others to.

First two seeds hit soil today, I’ll start backups once these are under the lights, and backups to the backups in about ten days.

Can’t just post when things are going good. Long story short I thought I had my grow light dialed in put my babies under the lights and went to D.C. with my daughters 6th grade class for three days, came home to scorched first and second true leaves. Into the ground they went, third leaf is growing in normally so still expect to grow one of the two Leonzi plants. Threw in a 1974 mathiowetz as emergency backup. Final decision will be made around the 20th. This is why we should practice our starts in the winter. Good luck everyone!
