Had a few seed starting questions, this is what I do for an outside grow in the soil garden. I like to start them about 8-10 weeks before I want to transplant them outside. The plants should be around 12-16 inches tall. When planting dig the hole deep enough to burry half the plant. Cut the leaves off near the stem for the ones that would get buried. If starting plants without enough natural light I use 4' fluorescent cool white bulbs. I like to add 15-20 watts per SQ FT so the plants don't get spindly from too little light. |

Ben was kind enough to send me some seeds last year and the plants grew great. The problem for me was that since I never had the chocolate cherry variety before, I kept waiting for them to get bright red for picking, like most cherry tomatoes. Unfortunately they didn't. So I'm sure I missed their peak ripeness while they were still on the vine. Live and learn.

Been gardening off and on for a little bit. Don't have a green thumb but do well growing squash, zucchini, jalapeños, eggplant. The squirrels and bugs got my last tomato's.. We're thinking of trying above ground this year maybe.

Last year I bought starters and planted in mid-May. This year I will use a combination of seeds and starters.

First off, thanks Ben, if I didn't last year, for your generous offer.
Would have been nice if you would have told me that I would need 6 foot tall by 3 foot diameter tomato cages . And buyer beware ... when you bite into one of these ... best keep your mouth completely and tightly closed or you'll be wearing some of it!! Never snacked on cherry tomatoes like I did last summer!! Again, thanks Ben, for spreading the word as well as the seed Quote:

I grow them hydroponically and have had them 30 foot long/tall before. Yes they do like to explode when you bite into them. A couple tips with tomatoes is water in the morning and not at night and also pick in the mornings before watering. |

I took Rayl up on the offer of some giant pumpkin seeds and this is were I am at. I am going to give the one pictured hydroponic fertilized and grow it in the pictured 35 gallon plastic barrel full of perlite.
Hoping the weather will let me move it outside in about 2-3 weeks. Not sure how it will turn out but am hoping for a pumpkin the size if a Volkswagen Beetle. |

Harvested these giant purple asparagus this morning. Don't usually get many this large. The shiny coin is a quarter.
Anybody else got anything growing? |
