Snowed in. NE Texas. A good time to start the spring tomatoes. Sowed half of them yesterday, and the rest today. Allowing between 6 and 8 weeks before planting out. Aiming for the first half of March. Sowed two trays of 36 each, which is of course going to be too many plants yet again.

    Huge list! I will also be growing Big Beef Plus and Celebrity (not plus). Due to the winter storm we lost power for 24 hours. I would be afraid of losing my tomato seedlings.

    I’m sorry that you couldn’t start very many.

    Super nice! Way too many plants indeed lol but so fun to try all those varieties. Black Krim and Cherokee Carbon are personal favorites of mine.
