Timing the start of tomatoes is a very individual thing. I must admit that every year I think I'm late. (I also admit that now I'm humming the song "I'm Late" from the Disney move Alice in Wonderland. I know every word. This is what happens when almost 30 years ago you are in the 5th grade chorus for that show and your fall off the risers into the dark. It sticks with you.)
One of the few ill consequences of random garden blog reading (no matter how I focus on the upper Midwest) is that people with regrettably early seasons sneak in. People who are asking things like...is it too late to plant peppers now when it was 100 degrees yesterday? People who plant their tomatoes in January or February when I am still trying to remember where I left the snow shovel.
But I'm not that late. I looked it up. The first year I seeded so early. I was so excited. Some time in mid-March. Last year I seeded around this time late March/early April. And while I was searching around I came across my first post: April 1, 2008. So a very happy blogoversary to me! Two years ago I was whining about the snow and tapping my first maple. This year its how busy I am and my baking obsession.
Oh, and the tomatoes are:
Power's Heirloom (paste)
San Marzano (paste)
Principe Borghese
Black Cherry (cherry)
Guernsey Island Pink Blush (cherry)
Yellow Pear (cherry)
Aunt Ruby's German Green
Livingston's Gold Ball
And an Italian variety with the initials TM that slips my mind
L. planted some Roma because they were red.
Also a few:
Early Jalapeno
Cubanelle
