The tomato plants are in Black Gold potting soil. For most, I'm using taller pots, 4" across, so they don't get root bound too fast. There are still about 6 weeks before they can go into the ground. These are all slicing tomato and a few cherry tomato plants.
It's a lot of plants, but about half are for gifts.
At this early stage, the dwarf types are easily distinguished from regular height plants.
The three on the left are dwarf, the two on the right are not dwarf. The far left plant is "CC McGee", a "potato - leaf" dwarf.
The one exception is Reisentraube, which so far is as small as the dwarf types, even though they are a regular height - type plant.
All were in the sun for a few hours yesterday. They looked fine afterwards. In fact, I think the leaf color looks better. They will be in the sun for most of the day today, too. I'm actually hoping that the dwarf plants can be in pots longer than the regular height plants, to give me more time.
