Starting Tomatoes

A few days ago I dug out the garden seeds and started a bunch of tomatoes. I know for many of you this will seem late to be starting seeds. Well... Here in North Central Minnesota where I've seen frost every month of the year, I've found that starting them much earlier is no benefit.

Mostly I've gone with New Girl tomatoes again. They are 62 days, an indeterminate, and improved Early Girl. They have always produced nice marketable sized fruits. I also did some Sweet Chelsea, another indeterminate, and a large cherry tomato. Another tomato I started is Gold Nugget, a yellow cherry and a determinate.

Here's a cute tomato design I've added to GardenerWares:



You say tomato, I say tomato...wait, what's the problem? These Mugs, T-Shirts, & more with a cute tomato drawing are great for gardeners and chefs. They also make great gifts.
