Update. That worked out very nice. First time using tweezers to move to seed cells.
I ended up with three of each and all i need. They look good. Too many varieties to use the method for everything as direct seeding gets me 90% with fresh seed. Saved fresh seed i have so many i just seed extra and cull. Using this for a fresh pack of pepper seed that needs a longer germination. |

Growing well and tolerating 5 degree c nights in the unheated cold frame. Budding up too!
Looking great so far, I think ripe tomatoes from these the beginning of June. KarenO |

In 2 gallon pots and blooming. Nighttime temps in unheated cold frame 5-9 degrees Celsius. Daytime mainly cloudy outdoor temps 11-14, warmer in cold frame windows always open for ventilation.
Doing quite well considering the cold rainy weather. KarenO |

These photos are really encouraging -- I managed to germinate a 10-year-old seed for a variety I really wanted to try (Black Pear, generously provided by ALittleSalt). It took more than 10 days to germinate and it's still tiny, but today I saw true leaves forming. Hopeful!

Setting fruit despite the cold nights and cool days. One day so far this year reached 20 degrees C.
A great tomato ![]() KarenO Last edited by KarenO; May 9, 2017 at 12:23 PM. |

90 days from the day the old seed was placed in the h2o2 soaked paper towel.
Setting fruit in the very cool spring temps. KarenO |
