Tomato Seed Planting

Planting Tomato Seeds

It is almost the end of January; the first tomato seeds went in today. I planted 24 mortgage lifter tomato seeds, 24 celebrity tomato seeds and 24 beefsteak seeds.

I used the small pod planters and planted one per pod. It makes it so much easier when they need to be transplanted to a larger pot or the ground outside. Separating them is a pain otherwise. I will plant more this week.
I planted the mortgage lifter, celebrity and beefsteak last year. If you haven't tried the mortgage lifter I would recommend it. I bought it from Gurney's when they had one of their sales. Sign up and they will send you the specials. I was short last year on a few of the seeds and called them. They promptly send me new seeds to replace them. I like to deal with companies that back up there product.

We have snow on the ground now, but spring is not all that far away. This year I will plant the watermelon directly in the ground, they did so much better last year planted that way.
