Today I started all of my tomato and pepper plants. Tomato varieties I’m planting are:
1 - Aunt Ruby’s German Green
1 - Better Boy
2 - Brandywine
2 - Mortgage Lifter
1 - Roma
1 - Rutgers
1 - Supersweet 100 cherry
1 - Zapotec pleated
I decided I’m going to grow my cherry tomato in a container away from the garden this year because in 2007, when I grew the supersweet 100, I found that at times some tomatoes (there were TONS of them) would ripen long before they could get picked and would fall to the ground unnoticed, and as a result, several times throughout 2008 I would go to do some weeding and find a couple baby tomato plants amongst them. :)
I also started some artichoke and spanish onion seeds (this time with seed starting mix). I don’t know if its too late or not to sow onion seed, but the seed pack said nows the time for my area so we’ll see. I won’t be too bummed if it doesn’t work out, as I’m not giving them a whole lot of my garden space anyways. As for the artichokes, I’ve never grown them before, and I still have some research to do.
