Tomato seed update!

Tomato seed update!

All 16 varieties of the tomato seed sown have germinated apart from 2, and are doing really well, the 2 that have not yet germinated Dzintare Lasite (old seed) and Black Krim (Mystified by this one, maybe old seed) I would not hold out much hope for! had planned to only sow 16 varieties this year but me being me i have done another 4 varieties also to bring the total up to 20! will source more seed for the Black Krim as it was one of our favorites last year and as Murphy's law goes one of the ones we didn't save seed from!!

Dave received the tomato seeds yesterday morning.  Potted them up, lldi and black cherry, yesterday afternoon.  Thanks so much for sending them.  Will keep you updated as to their progress!!  Thinking the same Jacinta - Dave wouldn't know how to take it easy..................

Well done to both of you.

It's good that almost all germinated and I hope you get the Black Krim going soon.

Thanks so much for the seed you sent - hope I get similar results.
