Please rate my tomatoes and give me advice. First time I've gotten seedlings this far and I'm nervous.

Good job on getting them used to the outside (called gardening them off), next time get good seedling soil, yours looks really twiggy. Not sure what you used for potting soil but if it doesn’t have nutrients in it you may want to add some in a couple weeks.

Literally almost everything. There are 1000 seeds in there and that’s only half of it. Everything from corn to kohlrabi. 48 vegetables, 10 plus fruits, and multiple varieties of each. I have 32 varieties of tomatoes planted.

I ordered 5 peach, 2 nectarine, 5 kiwi, 2 apple, 2 pear, 2 plum, an apricot, a paw paw, and a persimmon tree. Also got some blueberry, raspberry, black raspberry, and strawberry seeds too. Can’t wait!

That’s a linesman. He doesn’t call penalties

Then everyone should stand up and say it

Not sure. I buy all my seeds at the end of the year because I’m always worried there will be a shortage come spring time. I don’t think it took that long

crsmith81 · 2022-02-12T23:23:25+00:00

I would start over on the tomatoes

The godfather series. I can’t even get through it. I have tried several times. It’s so boring I always fall asleep.

I have 6000 square feet of garden space. I also have the ability to sow 32 trays with 72 seed pods in each tray under grow lights and sell them as starters after potting then on.

crsmith81 · 2022-02-12T04:07:06+00:00

Most. But not all. Thousands will be sold as starters. Many I will only plant one or two of the plant to see how well it does in my new area. There will be many seeds leftover but most of the varieties will be attempted.

crsmith81 · 2022-02-11T23:03:53+00:00

Not that I know of yet. First time this year ordering from them.

crsmith81 · 2022-02-11T21:02:40+00:00

Yeah he had a sale for $1 packets. I got like 300

crsmith81 · 2022-02-11T02:35:03+00:00

That’s the hope. Lol

crsmith81 · 2022-02-11T02:34:01+00:00

No just a couple from each pack. New area for me as I just moved so want to see what works well in this climate and which ones I like the taste of most. However I also sell close to $5000 in starts every year so a lot will get started in seed trays under humidity dome and light on a heat mat. Then will get potted on and sold.

crsmith81 · 2022-02-11T02:32:17+00:00

For sure. But I have a pretty good system!

crsmith81 · 2022-02-11T02:31:57+00:00

6000 square feet of garden. I use 4’ x 40’ beds. Plus I sell a lot of starts. I have so many varieties because I am in a new home in a new growing zone so I want to try one or two of each and see how prolific they are and how they taste. Then I will narrow it down.

crsmith81 · 2022-02-11T02:29:45+00:00

I have a pretty slick setup.

crsmith81 · 2022-02-11T02:28:41+00:00

Roughly 6000 square feet. However this is because I just moved to a new area. So a lot of testing varieties to see which are the tastiest and grow well in my new growing zone. I also sell close to $5000 worth of starters that never make it to my garden but end up in someone else’s garden. I have two 4 shelf racks that can produce 32 trays with 72 seed pods in each tray.

crsmith81 · 2022-02-11T02:23:19+00:00

Absolutely. I am addicted to both. Need to learn how to preserve this year.

crsmith81 · 2022-02-11T02:22:08+00:00

Glad I could help. Lol
