Pam,
It's a beafsteak.
I added a 20 watt CFL light to the side today because Linda loves fried green tomatoes and has not had one since November. I need it to grow as quickly as possible. According to the calendar, Passover is April 20 so that gives it three weeks to mature - if I got it pollinated
Sort of strange - in my life I've helped grow thousands of tomato plants but it was always a stick them in the ground, plow them a couple of times and gather them when they get ripe. Never did I check them daily and usually not weekly once they started.

Tomatoes this year
Going to try some white ones this year so have 3 each of white beauty, great white and white brandywine. Roma, Gold heirloom,will have to have some cherry tomatoes and daughter got a pack of mixzed ones that she planted, took what she wanted and we get the rest, not sure what all will be growing but it should prove interesting. We grew tomatoes, peppers and herbs in homemade earth containers last year and they did great. Afdding more this year plus tilling up more ground. If I plant enough we won't have to mow right??

I'm starting to wonder about mine. I planted 108 seeds nine days ago and none have sprouted. The others I have planted took 3-5 days. Everything is basically the same - potting soil, how deep they were planted, amount of moisture. The only difference is the heat is turned off in the germinator, at least the waterbed heater. But temps have been much warmer and the lights put out some heat too. I need these seeds to sprout - I'll be planting by the end of May.
