started my tomatoes today and am also trying to sprout some ghost peppers. the seeds for both were taken out of last years crop. the tomato line up this year is the 2.94 Shenoha 2011 and 2.93 Theobold 2011 (that was a close weigh off lol.) these both were grown last year off the 4.04 Johnston/Butler seeds (5.58 Timm x self). the 2.70 Shenoha 2011 seeds started were grown off the 4.25 Lyons (5.0 Timm x self). also started were the 2.44 shenoha 2011 and the 2.32 Bornman 2011 grown off the 5.35 Lyons (3.9 Catapano x self). again i started all of them for the Joliet Giant Tomato Growing Contest we run out of Bobby's Tap and weigh at Mitchell's meat market. it is $5 bucks to enter pre-season as a bet and winner takes all. Everyone near the area is welcome to compete. I may have a few extra plants when all is said and done after the tomato draft held at Bobbys around the second week of May. I will have all the plants lined up in flats and 15 guys and ladies will choose one at a time with each taking total 2 or 3 and a couple of guys will get 6 of them. it is catching on here in Joliet and the tomatoes are great fun to compete against friends who do not have room to grow AGs. Our Joliet Tomato Growers Club motto is, "You Have to Grow Somethin' to Know Somethin'" guess who came up with that cheesy slogan. lol.
