It was like Christmas here at the house this last week. Santa sent me a replacment seeds for the 1734.5 that didn't properly develop and after 2 days in the germ house it has roots. I inoculated/soaked the seeds for 2 hrs @ 88 degrees with 20% Endo powder, 80% Humic dry in a 95% water solution with........wait for it 5% (70%)Isopropyl Alchohol. I wanted to cut any chance of disease. Put the 1734.5's in styro cups w/Seed starter mix very light amount of the soaking solution was misted over the seeds slightly exposed above the soil surface in the cup. Germ chamber set @ 87 degrees. The seeds actually shot a tap root out in 29 hrs. Quickest reacting seed I've ever started to date. put a total of 201 various Tomato plants out in the East Patch yesterday with the help of my daughter. There are Sicilian Saucers, Purple Carbons, Golden Queens, Mortgage Lifters, Porter House, Super Beef Steaks, Polish Linguisa, Delicious and Daniella's (Greenhouse type Tomato). Sparrows have already pulled the hearts out of some of the plants so early this morning I will get them covered. They stuff their nests with them to keep mites at bay for when the babies are hatched. I deal with them every year. Happy Easter to All.
