I wanted to get my tomatoes started so I could put them out in Walls o’Water a month early. Had some Early Girl seed left but not the others I thought I had. So I quickly place a couple of seed order. My favorite small tomato is Gardener’s Delight, which Park used to carry. Now I can only find it in Burpee, where the seed padkets are more expensive as are their shipping rates. Oh, well. I like this tomato because it is a little larger than a cherry, very sweet and doesn’t inundate you with more tomatoes than you can eat (or pick). It is also within the 60 day range which I need up here. The same can be said for Park’s Whopper, which I also ordered in order to have a full sized tomato. I did plant the Early Girl. I use a seed starting mix in a cardboard milk carton cut lengthwise, and place up on top of my china cabinet. When they germinate, I’ll put them on my south-faceing window sills until large enough to put in larger containers. If you haven’t used Walls o’ Water, they really work. One year after
I planted tomatoes in them, we had 20 inches of snow and the plants were fine.
We still have 2-3 feet of snow on the ground, 200 inches total for the season.
