Tomato Seedlings. 4.10.22

 I started the tomato seeds about March 15, I think.  I have been up-potting them into individual cells of the silicone 6-packs over the past 2 weeks.  This is about 2/3 of the plants.  The 




The green packs were up-potted a week ago, the blue packs were up-potted yesterday.  Growth has been much faster since repotting (green packs) compared to the ones I just did (blue).  The delay is OK, it's still very early.

Some went into taller containers, if the stem had stretched taller.  That was mostly the romas that were in the window instead of under LEDs.

As for varieties, Most are dwarf types or determinates.

From my saved seeds:

Dwarf Extreme Bush (heirloom) (red, small)

Livingston Dwarf Stone (heirloom) (red, medium)

Dwarf BrandyFred (open pollinated, dwarf tomato project) (brown/purple, very large fruit)

Dwarf Golden Champion (heirloom) (golden, large fruit)

Dward Tanunda Red. (open pollinated, dwarf tomato project) (red, very large fruit)

Dwarf Champion Improved. (heirloom) (pink, medium fruit)

Roma VF (heirloom) (sauce tomato)

Reisentraube.  (heirloom, not dwarf but seems fairly compact) I thought the Reisentraube looked too vigorous, compared to last year.  In case it was mis-labeled, I re-sowed those seeds last week.

From newly purchased seeds:

Sakura (Cherry hybrid, red)

Puck (open pollinated, very small plant)

Supremo (determinant, red sauce type hybrid)

Dwarf Moliagul Moon (open pollinated, dwarf tomato project) (light yellow)

Dwarf Eagle Smiley. (open pollinated, dwarf tomato project) (red, cherry)

Honeybee (hybrid, semideterminant, from an old seed pack) (yellow cherry)
