Sorry to read about some of your plants not making it. I'm still learning that too, about transplant shock and hardening off. That's why I started too many seeds this year. Only 6 out of 100+plants have died. Now to find some homes for alot of them. Lol! Good Luck!

Wow that's a lot of tomatoes! How many of each of those will you grow out? I don't like tomatoes by themselves enough to grow that many. Or at least I haven't tried enough I guess. Do you use certain ones for particular sauces or just slice them up or eat them whole?

Devv · Mar 24, 2015

Hi Jason,

I'm sorry to read about your loss.

I use two methods:

If the weather is right I'll place plants with just coty's outside; they do just fine.

The rest I wait until they're sporting their 3rd set of true leaves (or more) and I put them in a place where they don't get 100% sunlight and use a sunshade (you can use window screens) for a week. Then I start removing them more and more until they can handle full sun. A few always get burned, but it's just a few silver looking leaves.

I grow a ton of maters too, and I'm not a fan of eating them unless they're cooked down into spaghetti sauce.

Wishing you continued success!

Sawyer · Mar 25, 2015

Great tomato list. I'm way behind on getting mine started. I like them raw, sauced, juiced, dried (on pizza), pretty much any way I've ever had them. Guess I'm a 'mater addict.

Most of these I am trying out for the first time.
I used the green zebra last year in salsa.
The golden Roma hybrid will be used in salsa & sauce I will give some to a friend of mine.
I grew chocolate cherry last year but looking at bakers creek I seen it was really black plum.
I also grew black prince was not impressied with them more like black toade lol

I should have some good tomatoes for home made sauce and those stuffing scotch bonnets should be perfect on a pizza along with some of the other tomatoes great ideals

Going to sow some more peppers soon ether tonight or tomorrow probably tomorrow cause I did some more prep work outside I am tired .
It is storming here now and some rain in the morning

Pulpiteer · Mar 25, 2015

That's funny, I just had a parishioner telling me how much he liked the green zebra tomato. They must be pretty good! That is a nice tomato list!

jcw10tc · Mar 25, 2015

I just started a lot of tomatoes also, way more than I will have room for. Will need to get it down to 12 or 14 varieties and fine adoptive homes for the rest. Looking forward to Paul Robeson this year, been reading lot of great things about that one.

Plantguy76 · Mar 27, 2015

I did four flats tonight I am now at maximum capacity pushing it really .
I did not get to some varieties I wanted they will have to wait till next year.
Thank you to everyone who has given me seed of there varieties.

Plantguy76 · Mar 27, 2015

Peach Bhut Jolokia Selected Strain

Think I am going to share some of the yellows and if I get good germination some sb7j with my chili head buddy in Scott city

I'm probably going to hit you up for some of those seeds in the offseason.

Plantguy76 · Apr 1, 2015

That would be cool will be happy to share so far it looks like the only one to germinate out of the 3 seeds wicked mike gave me.
So I will probably put this one in a container and over winter it along with some other selected plants around that time.

Peter S · Apr 1, 2015

Plants are looking great!

Plantguy76 · Apr 1, 2015

I transplanted my Bahamian Goats today also the other 3 white fatalii there far behind the one in a pot but if there anything like the other they will catch up soon.
The Bahamian goat pics are in the Bahamian Goat Community Glog
I have moved the tomatoes into my four tier greenhouse only peppers lift in there are the peach Congo's and the red moas
I checked the other two it looks like they are going germinate unless something happens. (Hoping for no helmet heads)

Plantguy76 · Apr 3, 2015

I now have 3 red moa scotch bonnets out of the 3 seeds wicked mike gave me 100% germination :woohoo:

I checked plant room 2 today & got queen laurie, scarlet lantern, potato skin jalapeno & black habanero seedlings coming up :dance:

I hope I get some sb7js germinate but even if nothing else did I am good

Got a Albanian red hot Judy's seed by Nigel

Sawyer · Apr 4, 2015

Can't do better than 100%! Assuming your potato skin jalapeno is the same as Judy's Farmer's Jalapeno, you should get good germination on those, too. I had 6 of 6 come up. I had only 2 of 6 Albanian Red Hot come up.
