The experiment wasn't actually intended, but just kind of happened when I had extra seed an no place to put it.<br /><br />our friend Ben, I'm pretty sure our last frost is long gone. The problem with tomatoes here is if we get long stretches of cold wet weather. They get all diseased and die. The joy of a maritime climate.<br /><br />risa, I used to do a lot of seed starting when I was younger (and poorer). So far things are going pretty well as I relearn all that I forgot. I did find seed potatoes here. I'll post about it next week.Daphnehttp://daphnesdandelions.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-72624062865250703382009-04-28T12:04:00.000-04:002009-04-28T12:04:00.000-04:00Best thing to do with thinnings!

We used to be good at this but both working more than full time has taken its toll.<br /><br />Seed potatoes should be in good supply at Seed Savers Exchange or Fedco.

I am so impressed!!! I agree---this horrid heat has helped the snap and snow peas take off. And yes, I took a chance and planted my tomatoes out yesterday.

They have just shot up.<br /><br />Pam, that is why I chitted mine this year. I've had trouble with it in the past.<br /><br />Annie's Granny, I would so hate to lose my tomatoes, but I may have to get them into the ground anyway. If they outgrow the lights, there is no other solution. Then I'll hope for decent weather.<br /><br />Dan, yes the seed potatoes were a real saga. I started my peppers on March 16th. So they are exactly six weeks old. Their roots are coming out the bottom and the soil is filled with them. It is time to pot up or plant. I don't have room to pot them up, so I'm hoping to plant over the weekend. Only if the weather is good though. If it is predicted to be rainy and cold, I'll have to stress them out by keeping them in their too small pots.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-36509134781866127772009-04-27T16:49:00.000-04:002009-04-27T16:49:00.000-04:00Glade to hear you found some seed potatoes.

Well, especially the tomatoes. My tomato "seedlings" are beginning to look a bit stressed, but the two I put in buckets last week are looking great. I think I'm going to chance it and plant the rest of them this week. If they don't make it, I have backups....but those will be the less than perfect plants of the bunch.<br /><br />I know, I should have thinned sooner or planted the spinach farther apart. I'm always the one telling people to give their plants some space to breathe, then I went and did just the opposite! I did it so I could have the early thinnings to eat, then the darned things looked so good I didn't have the heart to disturb them ;-) Oh well, it's done now, and the babies have roo to grow.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-47906339387618977222009-04-27T11:43:00.000-04:002009-04-27T11:43:00.000-04:00Your spinach looks sooooo good!
