The Veranda Red tomato seeds sown on Thursday have germinated so let's see who gets the first ripe tomato!
I wasn't planning on joining in, but I had a little bit of space in the propagator so thought I'd have a go.

You're on Garrett, although I find the problem comes later when the toms are too big for the propagator or the windowsill and the gh is like Siberia. I think I've got some veranda red about 3" tall needing transplanting but my hopes are with Red Robin that can stay on the windowsill all its life if necessary, which I suppose is cheating a bit.

Naw, got my fingers burned drastically last year with early sowings.  Promised then, NEVER AGAIN!  I have some tomatoes drying and some peppers drying for seed. Might try some early peppers as they require a long season and don't get so leggy.  Good luck all.

A few flowers on House tomato and another one that I can't remember. No sign of babies yet.

I've got baby toms on Red Robin indoors and flowers on Veranda Red, Tumbling Tom red & yellow.
If you save seed of House, can I have some please?
