As if 4 giant pumpkins, long gourds, and a couple field pumpkins won't be enough! I'm also going to grow a few giant tomatoes this year. My thanks to Scott West (scott_kim_west_iowa) for the seeds. Next May the tomato seed line up will be the 4.3 Shymanski 2010 (7.18 Harp x Sib) and the 3.96 Marley (7.33 Hunt x Self). I've grown tomatoes from seed before, however this year will be alot easier with the use of the germination chamber! The current project is germinating tomato seeds, I have some beefsteak seeds from Lowe's I bought today. I'll practice with those and I'm using Jiffy seed starting mix just to have something different to play around with instead of miracle gro. The pumpkin seedlings will be ready to come out soon so this experiment is a mirror of the order with which I'll be germinating. Pumpkins first, then long gourds, field pumpkins and and finally..... tomatoes
