The Palm Tree looking tomatoes
from one of the grow stations have been potted on into vending machine cups and
now look very less leggy than they did. All of those hairs along the stem will
turn into roots and once the tomatoes are about 75mm tall I will pot them on
again into larger pots or perhaps into flower buckets that are half full so
that I can bury the stem once again to end up with plants that have an
extensive root system, which will survive better and be stronger.

I managed to get three of the
four sown from all of the above with the exception of Rapunzel which managed
full germination. I only really want two of each variety and will either find
space or homes for the excess as I don't like composting young plants if they
are healthy.
Kibitz are still a bit too
short for potting on at the moment and the Beefsteak tomatoes just don't
germinate, but there again they were very old seeds, I may shock horror actually have to buy a pack if I can't get the next batch sown to germinate.
The second grow station has pot
and dwarf varieties of tomatoes in it and as a result they are still quite short to
be potted on into vending machine cups quite yet. The grow lights are on for
longer than there is natural daylight so I'm hoping they will become a bit more
leggy so they can be potted on shortly. Varieties are
- Bajaja
- Balconi Red
- Micro Tom
- Minibel
- Red Robin
- Rosella
- Sub Artic Plenty
- Super Roma
- Tiny Tim
I'm hoping for as good a year for tomatoes as I had last year
