here is a pic of the tomatoes and the pumpkin sprouts sitting on top of some old cushions to keep the flats off the cooler tile floor. the tomatoes are big zac f2 hybrids, 5.58 timm x self, gordon grahams, and brutus maximus that were all given to me from treetop for the gtg. they are doing good and will go into the shazzydome greenhouse tomorrow after transplanting the pumpkin sprouts where they will stay until i pick the best 5 for me and the rest go to everyone mentioned in a previous post. i got 2 space heaters in the shazzydome to set for 57 at night and 78 during the day. one space heater will go into the small greenhouse. i have 2 more of the pelonis space heaters available and may add another to each greenhouse to see how well i can hold these temps. i got the mych fungi ready and the plants were watered tonight on purpose because it will be easier to carefully remove the moistened pots tomorrow on the pumpkin sprouts when transplanting. the best 873 will go next to the 991, the other 873 will go next to the 901, and the 2 1147s will go side by side. the 901 has altered my planting spot design and has moved into the number one honey hole of the patch based on its vigor. the 991 goes into the number 2 spot and the 1147s go into the number three spot. there is very little difference between the number 2 and 3 spot. the number one spot has proven the most successful over the years and gets a little more sun, (an extra half hour) based on tree shadows and my house shadows that affecet the 2 and 3 spots early in the am and late in the pm. looks like tomorrow will be cloudy all day which is fine by me for acclimation to the transplanting.
