Everybody's Karma Pinks look fantastic!! :D
Here's mine four weeks from germination.
You'll be happy to know Karma was not destined to be among the group of seedlings I blistered under the LED. Her first stint has been in the west window under fluorescent, which is my classic tomato spot tried and true. Yesterday I shuffled the plants around to reorganize them by height. Karma is among the tallest group of seedlings, and also the sturdiest seedlings, mostly from the same window spot. You can see the stems are quite purple compared to two on the far left, which were looking out on the greenhouse and I guess, that much warmer. I want them all to get some time in that cool window so Karma and friends will spend some time in the warmer spot now.
PS. in the group shots, Karma is the only PL.
I don't know why, but this plant with lovely shaped leaves reminds me of an orchid. :cute: Tough as nails, however! :D

My seedlings are only 3" tall, but the Karma Pinks are easy to pick out from the crowd because of those massive Potato Leaves :). Hoping for great things from this variety!

I believe those big leaves are making the sugars to make them taste so good :)
I hope you will think so too Linda.

Bower, wow! Great looking plant. Nicolas, I am so excited to see our babies doing well in Spain. Well done!

How are some of the rest of The KARMA Pink recipients doing? We'd love to hear progress even if you can't manage a photo. Germination, vigor, etc.

Planted mine quite recently on 3-23. 100% germination with no issues, starting in 4 days (with bottom heat). I only planted 4 seeds to ultimately set out 1 plant. This will go in soil with several other cherry varieties (Sunchocola, Big Orange Volunteer, and Esterina). Doing very well thus far. Have their first true leaves, so nothing remarkable to post as far as pictures.

I only started two seeds and both germinated quickly. I am limited this year since we are moving end of June. Everything in containers. Of course, I'm super hopeful that I'll get to keep it all not knowing any details yet of our move. :dizzy:

Most of my tomatoes are ready to go outside, but the weather has turned here, so I'm waiting. :no:

Karma at about 22 days, then at 39 days. Then my bucket of goodies waiting patiently to be planted. :)

[SIZE=3][FONT=Garamond][B]I started my KARMA Pink on March 20th and got a tap root after about twenty-four hours (I did make a brief post here a couple of weeks ago).

Since then, the plant has its cotyledons, its first set of true leaves, and a tiny growing tip... so nothing too much to report as of yet!

:)
