RE: 2023 - Growing Early Tomatoes - JJB - 10-01-2023
I'll put some windowsill tom seeds in around the 23rd, I have sworn I won't sow any others too early, they're nothing but trouble to keep healthy and get too big for indoors before the frosts finish. Anyway the desk the growlights go on is piled high with Xmas treats as yet uneaten and seed boxes in the process of being sorted. There's no room at the inn. As yet I've only just got a very tentative list formulated of what toms to grow this year.
RE: 2023 - Growing Early Tomatoes - Garrett - 10-01-2023
I'm going to grow three early ones for containers:
Tumbling Tom Red
Tumbling Tom Yellow
Rambling Red Stripe AKA Jester
I'll sow them once I get some space in the heated propagator after the peppers germinate which should be in about ten days.
I find that the Tumbling tomatoes grow happily on a sunny windowsill until they're ready to be planted out as they're naturally bushy and stocky. Most years they've already had flowers and set fruit by the time they're put outside for summer.
The indeterminates can wait until mid March, I've already prepared my list.

Tumbling Tom Red, Yellow and Rambling Red Stripe (aka Jester) have all germinated.
RE: 2023 - Growing Early Tomatoes - JJB - 21-01-2023
I brought some modules filled with semi frozen compost indoors to warm up for sowing. I must show restraint so that the babies don't overwhelm me before they are able to go in the gh. The min max from the past week showed -7.5, not a healthy environment for growing things.

Maybe cheating, but here are my sungold tomatoes. I didn't grow from seed this year, these are cuttings overwintered after watching a Charles Dowding video showing his hybrid cuttings.
