Tomato Check-in!

tomatoes at the hort center

Whew! The last week or so has been a whirlwind. The semester has just wrapped up, thankfully. A new semester is getting underway. I spent much of last week and a pretty interesting nerd-conference. Add to that a terrible head cold and several days of torrential downpour and you kind of get a picture of what I've been up too this past week.

I wasn't able to get back over to the Horticulture Center before I left for the conference . . . . or before I had to sit down and get my grades submitted, but later that day (after I drove an hour to drop off my computer for repairs, did I mention the broken computer?) I dropped by to see how they were doing.

They were all done in the magic box and sitting in the greenhouse with quite a few other flats of plants. Overall our germination rate was excellent and the few that didn't come up still have a chance of making it. The next step will be to move them to larger pots once they have put out their third set of leaves. I'm stoked!

How many days did it end up being until they germinated?
