In the first pot, there are 4 sprouts, in the second there is now 1 sprout and in the third pot, there are 3 sprouts. Total of 8 whippersnappers so far!
All of the other seedlings are doing well. No hot cayenne peppers yet.
Thursday
Five whippersnapper (tomato) seedlings are up ... and I do mean UP as well as up. I have been eyeing the florescent light in my kitchen for quite awhile now thinking it either needs to come down or I need to use it for seedlings. So guess which idea won out. I've rigged a light plant tray up underneath it with twine and it is providing light now for my seedlings! I knew I ordered those two extra grow florescent tubes for a reason! Whippersnappers are usually up before any of the other tomatoes (not just because they are the only ones I've planted so far) but because they are early determinates. This type of determinate can be grown in containers because it is a low-sprawling vine which means I can grow it under lights indoors for a fair length of time before it needs to go outdoors. It will take off quickly once it is set outside and produce numerous sweet, pink-red, oval cherry-size fruits. The reason I know this is that I have been following other tomato growers blogs during the past couple of years and taking notes so that I can try what they have had successes with
