Beginner Gardening: old seeds, 0 by Gymgirl

Hey, Shoe!
I love the illustration!

Just to clarify, I used the EP to green up the seedlings, which were, in fact, starting to get a tiny bit pale. I haven't put the MG liquid on anything yet, so, at this point, I guess I still have "organically" grown tomato plants. My concern was for displaying them at our local Farmer's Market and promoting them as "organically" grown. Thank you for the thorough explanation of their growing process.

My timing seems to be spot on for the first time since I started my second seeds ever in 2007. The tomato seedlings should hit their stride (that 2nd set of true leaves) and be ready for plant out just about the time I'll put them on sale at the market! By the time they get to their new homes, the new owner's can plant them out and determine whether they'll stay organic, or get some of their own brand of fertilizers!

P.S. ALL of these tomatoes shown were started from "old" seeds I saved myself (2007-2008 season)...I guess-timate I had a 94% germination rate.

KEWL!!!

Linda (who is watching the batch of seedlings to see which 12 plants she will keep tto grow for herself, and which will promptly get that dilute dose of fertilizer TONIGHT!

Hugs to you both!

How's this? Approximately 2/3 of Phase I...
