Default Rainy Day Indoor Tomato Putters

Rainy day (again) indoor putters! The tomatoes won't be started until later but I had to scratch the seed starting itch so that happened with dwarf tomatoes and basil. They can live on a table inside or outdoors on the porch, temps permitting.

Both of these are new to me. The first is 'Red Robin' which supposedly will get just 9-12" tall and make 1.5" cherry tomatoes. This is one stocky plant! It was seeded on 1/9 and yesterday I put it in a 2 gallon pot which will be its final home. It already has the first flower buds on top!




The other one is Dreikäsehoch, a cherry tomato that originated in the UK as Whipper Snapper. It is supposed to be a 1' plant with a trailing habit. Waaaay different from Red Robin! I wonder when it will start trailing. It was started 1/26 from seed that Farmer Shawn sent from the Carolyn collection and I put it in a larger pot this morning. It's sitting next to the Kentucky Colonel mint.




Seeds 'n' Such gave out a freebie packet of 'Newton' basil with orders this year and I started one on 1/9. The leaves aren't as bumpy on top (bullate) as some basils. I haven't tried it yet but this is what it looks like now.



I want to start more herbs today but need to figure out how much space will be available under the lights once they germinate. There's one more light shelf left at the bottom of the rack but right now there are seed starting supplies living there. Hmmm, time to think on this.... empty storage space in this house is limited.
