Final count, two: one in an Earthbox, one in a grow bag. All my seedlings look weak this year. I really did not fertilize enough. I am going to give them some extra the next few weeks to see if I can green them up.

Actually the leaves are quite a dark green, that's just the way the sun is shining. But I am keeping a close eye on nutrient status and have fed them all both some fish fert and some kelpy drink to get them through the early stress period. Besides the extreme variation in temp (both hot and cold) I planted rather deep and in the cold conditions I believe this has slowed vertical growth on all the plants, as they are putting energy into developing roots closer to the surface where they benefit most from the sun's warmth when it shines. This is okay by me! Because vertical space is limited. And the greenhouse being partly underground etc also tends to favor vegetative growth. I wouldn't put any judgement on KP's decision to mature the second cluster first. Some things are just random and environmental IMO, and doesn't mean the same would happen in another year. As for now, I'm perfectly happy that the plant is doing fine in the extreme conditions of early spring here! |

3 plants, that is great. These are strong resilient plants,they will respond well to that fertilizer. All the best......

The KARMA Project
Here are two of my Karma tomatoes. I started the seed on January 29th and transplanted them on April 24th. They were a little leggier than I wanted but the April weather wasn't cooperating. They have recovered fine and are getting a few blooms.

Thanks for the photos, they look really nice, all things considered. They should recover well. You have good support for the legginess. I know it was far colder in April than normal, many were delayed. This should be a good trial for them.

Here's my first KARMA Pink two days after plant out and immediately after weathering her first (surprise) thuderstorm set. She's a trooper! I have one more waiting to go out and the third will be gracing a good friend's garden. I just had to share!

Hey ladies, your Karma Pink has fruit set, I will tease you with words, the pics will come soon. I had it in a different GH, but recently moved it to my experimental GH. I think you are going to like what you will see soon. Until then, have a nice spring.

Here is my KARMA Pink happy to get out of the garage and into the relatively 'warm' mid-day high in the upper 50s (we had just had three days of highs in the mid-40s and lows in the mid-30s). The first flower cluster is looking good and the second is ready for its day in the sun.
