Tomato Seeds are In

First of March, and tomato seedings are just planted and resting in a south facing windowsill. Planted four varieties, 3 from my own seeds (Purple Cherokee, Lucinda, and One from 2 years ago) and 2 new ones that I purchased (Stupice, Sun Gold). We shall see how they do. Total of about 25-35 seeds planted. Hope to get about 50-80% of those up and looking for more. Should be ready for the great outdoors in 6-8 weeks depending on the weather.

Used seed starter this time, which I have never done. Books say this works better than soil and is less prone to disease. I was ok last year with soil, but got a lot of little flies.
