I just went through the seeds that we've obtained over the past few years and have quite a few tomato varieties. I thought I'd share my inventory list with the you all as we begin discussions with Marc at Korematsu and Amy at DHS the idea of cooperative plant sales this Spring. We'll need to limit the number of tomato varieties we grow to the best/most popular. Please let me know which would get your vote!!

Wow Debbie that's a lot of seeds.
ReplyDeleteI had a tough time starting Basil last year. Maybe it was the cool spring. We started them plenty early but the plants seemed dwarfed till the middle of the summer when they finally woke up. I had to buy basil from the store to make my classroom pesto. It was still great but what did I do wrong? Do those guys need a lot of heat to do well?

I think many people had problems with basil in the ground last spring. Raised planters get warmer quicker and would really help plants like peppers and eggplant too. I've been liking the idea of raising the planters in both the Arboretum and the Geo-Garden to help with production. It would really help the shadier gardens to warm up.
