Tomatobob's Heirloom Tomatoes
Preface: I'm a new and inexperienced tomato grower so possibly not the best person to ask about seed quality.
Other than buying seedlings from the local grocery store, TomatoBob was my first purchase of tomatoes for my garden. So far I've dropped and popped about a dozen seeds from them with 100% germination rate. I have not yet harvested any tomatoes but they are growing vigorously and I expect to be plucking some black cherry tomatoes in a couple weeks. I thought their prices were about the going rate when compared to others. They included a few packages of freebies and my order arrived promptly. |

What an awesome winter setup! Good for you, getting tomatoes at New Year's. What kind of lights are you using?

Jeff, nice setup. If your growing indeterminates it's going to get crowded in there unless you keep your plants trimmed. Otherwise that would be a great setup to grow some dwarfs from the dwarf project here at Tville. Here are a few pics from my dwarf grow out. Ami
