First year starting tomato seedlings


We put up the greenhouse last summer. I might've gone a little overboard. I have around 40 varieties of heirlooms and started a few hybrids for my dad. I started them inside in my utilty room, and over the past few weeks, I've hauled them in and out to the greenhouse with my wagon. On Friday, it took five trips. I'll supplement with some heat over the next few weeks if needed at night.

And yes, I started the first batch way too early because I couldn't help myself. We usually plant out around Mother's Day in northeast IN.

I have about 250 of them spoken for including what I'm putting out. I'll be finding homes for the others, hopefully.

I have around 20 trays of native flowers in there, too.
