torquillI'm at the point that I'm counting the tomato sprouts in my light rack twice a day.
It's a good thing I've grown all but one of these eleven varieties before... otherwise I'd be worried about the fact that Kellogg's Breakfast hasn't shown any activity at all, while every single one of my Black Krim seeds is up, and I have one Sudduth Brandywine sprout out of six seeds. After a few years of this, I know that 1) Black Krim is very eager, 2) Kellogg's Breakfast comes up late with weak seedlings susceptible to leaf crud, and 3) Sudduth is irregular but ultimately fairly dependable at germination. It'll all work out.
The commercial seedling mix packs down a little too much for my taste, but I do seem to be keeping it moist enough: no sticktight seed coats yet this time. Trying to ease the coat off the leaves without beheading the whole thing is always tough.
Four out of five Vorlons so far. It gets to compete with Woman's Name Starting With A for which one gives me the first slicing tomato. The race is on...
