GRRR @#$%&

I have had tomato, pepper, and selected "other" seedlings in a roll- around, zip-up-the-side shelved tent. About 120 or so cups of seedlings. Today, while I was working in the barn, the tent, which I had rolled out on the deck to get sun, got blown over, scattering cups, soil, seedlings, etc. I salvaged about half of the peppers, some cukes, but hardly any tomatoes. I am pissed. But............ I have about half a packet each of the tomatoes, as I intended to do some direct seeding as an experiment. Looks like they will be the bulk of this year's crop. I guess I will even hold my nose and go get some nursery seedlings. Maybe I will transplant some of the volunteers that I usually weed out.



cheers, anyway

Grumbling for you! what a PITA. BUT, I'd try a few quick starts and direct seeds. Maybe you can find a nursery with interesting tomatoes. Cheryl

Going to Baker Creek Sunday and Monday -- most eclectic bunch of crazies I have seen since Seattle in the 70's. All my seedlings used their heirloom seeds; mayhap some of the vendors will have some varietals.

cheers

The divinely inspired crazies where in 1999, lord love 'em. Intercourse the WTO.

You can also take cuttings from any of the tomatoes that survived to propagate them... The cuttings usually only wind up a couple of days behind the parent plant at maturity.
