Growing some early toms 2018

[Deano's "Diggin It"]

Nope! Not going there! Past experience as said not to!

But must admit! I am getting "Itchy Fingers"

Deano, do it, just do it.....................you know you want to.

Might and only might set off some "Tumblers" in hanging baskets as I aim to have a few hanging from the "Rafters"

Isn't the birth and planning of a new season exciting?

Or am I just Sad!

[veggiechicken]

Its very exciting - but only if you sow some seeds NOW.

My new motto -
Don't be boring, sow seeds and put some excitement in your life.

Yes! Do it! Just a few, I'm sure we'll all be eating toms by June

^^ Well, that was about to be my question: when do you expect to start picking your toms?

I'd join in but I live in a house with virtually no windows in order to keep the sun out in summer.

Everything starts small, even people. Some carry on growing and some stay small.

Small is beautiful!

The seed case will pop off, leaving you with two nice seed leaves. Patience...

You can often get this if the seed is old, gently keep wetting the seed pod with a bit of spit on your fingers, a few times a day for a couple of days.....it's usually enough for the leaves to push through.
I'm impatient and often try to pick it off sometimes leaving a headless stalk!
