hairymooseknuckles, excellent germination and I have separated plants into separate containers. I will add a picture later today to this post as well. I just brought them out to a protected area under the patio roof and just started to introduce them to natural sunlight and wind.

hairymooseknuckles, I planted two plants in a couple of inground containers with some frost protection. It's at least two weeks early here which requires at least something to ward off any cold temps. Supposed to get in the 30's next Monday and Tuesday, so the recycled water bottles will come in handy. And they fit just inside the five gallon bucket, so the wind can't knock them over.

pondgardener, those are great little greenhouses. I am going to keep my eye out for some of them. People throw them away all of the time. Of course now I probably won't see any.

brownrexx, if there is a bottled water company in your area, you might ask them if they have any damaged bottles. The spring water company here throws away bottles that have been dropped, cracked or otherwise unusable after drilling a hole in the top to avoid them being returned. They are extremely durable after cutting out the bottom. I need to go check myself soon.

brownrexx, on a whim, I drove to the spring water company, looked in the dumpster and came home with 4 more plastic bottles to use for frost protection. Next time I need to bring one of those reacher/grabber tools to reach farther in the dumpster.

I sowed 2 Frosty Pink Plum seeds and on Monday I potted up two Frosty Pink Plum plants. I'm excited to give them a taste!

daylilydude, I'm not sure. My eyes don't work too well. I tried blowing the picture up, but still couldn't make it out too well.

My seed (and I intend to save seed of this tomato) will go out to two FB groups. Food Islands, and TASTE. That is about as big of a scent mark as I can make. Growing it in simple isolation is also about my upper threshhold for technology.

I won't be able to see them this year. They were among the seedlings that were affected by the 2,4-D but looked like they were going to survive/. Therefore we didn't include it in the second sowing. Moved that one into the "must grow" box for next year.

too early for me...I barely have tomatoes bigger than a pea, so it is going to be some time yet. It is finally getting hot here, so things will start growing faster.

daylilydude, Dude, I'm sorry if I mixed up seed. My eyesight is not very good, but wife helped me so I'll blame her. All kidding aside, I'm very sorry.

I'm going to be very disappointed if I mixed up my seeds. I saved so many varieties it is possible they got mislabeled.

Let's wait and see what the rest of us get! Mine are still a long way from coloring, not even sure I have fruit set since they were probably planted later than everyone else's.
