Tomatoes 2018
This year is the year!
It's going to happen.
I'm going to be dubbed the crazy tomato lady 😆
I've been trying to get a better yield for the past few years and have had some complete fails and, naturally I did plenty of learning as well, but until now I just didn't get it right.
This year I was determined! I picked out several new varieties from West Coast Seeds and Baker Creek and started them nice and early.
Here's a list of what I have;
Manitoba

Purple Bumble Bee

Brad's Atomic Grape

And Baker Creek threw these in for free so I decided to give them a try!

Plus I scored some free seeds from the Seedy Saturday in Sherwood Park labelled Black Cherry Tomato!
I started them all in my home-made grow wardrobe and they all sprouted perfectly!

I put them out in the new greenhouse, introducing them slowly and now they've been out there for over 48hrs and are doing amazing! They'll get their new big pots soon and their permanent residences as well.
I really hope I don't screw them up this time! LoL
There's a reason so many people just buy their tomato plants every year!!
Thanks for reading! Stay tuned for more tomato updates and watch them grow!
