Tomato plants are transplanted. Decided to do the soilless method again this year in 4 gallon buckets. Simple setup and low maintenance. Will move outdoors when night temps warm a bit. One plant left over and will go in the garden. No famous seeds just the ones I had on hand. 4.59 Cantrell, 4.02 Finders, 4.8 Foss and 4.91 Brammer. Only 1 Foss plant. Squash plants are doing fine. Got them transplanted into hoops just in time for the corn seed maggot fly hatch. Looks like they had pupated so no losses yet. Plenty warm and dry this spring so maybe only one crop of them. The 694 is just a bit behind the others but with only 2 solid seeds I decided to use one that was really ugly and half full, about 30% white tip. It germinated way better than I expected but the cots were shorter than normal. I'll use the good ones when I feel confident I can get controlled pollinations. The 516 and 1445.5 are very aggressive at this time. Normally I yank the hoops off early and put up wind breaks. This year I'm going to wait till they nearly outgrow them. I've lost too many to the early winds. Hopefully I don't cook them.
