tomatoes




the sub-tropical, perennial tomatoes (Lycopersicon spp.) have sprouted...i was somewhat concerned about that...but they're up and the growlight is on...they'll be repotted soon and when they're big enough i'll harden them off and put them in the garden ( and probably some in my yard too...i overbought for this garden, even though i usually purchased the smallest ammount possible, so i will be running a sort of control garden in my backyard...double the fun!) the third row of peat-pellets has the annual teosinte Zea mexicana in it...no movement yet, even though i followed the instructions dr. eubanks from duke sent me...hopefully they're viable seeds and just taking their time..its only been five days so i'll wait..i have more seeds around and i have three more strains to germinate yet, plus potatoes to cut tomorrow and plant saturday...yep...off season's over...it's april though and it's supposed to be cold tonight...fortunately everything that's in the garden today is a cold hardy perennial...shouldn't be affected...tomatoes and teosinte stay inside until next month( at least)...potato entry tomorrow!
