I had twice the seed selection today and, more importantly, they had some heirloom varities which were not the new fangled, proprietary, generic, bred-for-appearance-not-necessarily-flavor varieties that I'm not crazy about. I have a better idea what these ones are, even if I haven't grown them before.

The supplier in this case was The Anderson's, which happens to be a previous field trip post location. (Oh, look at those tomatoes in that post. Those are gorgeous. SEE? I CAN TOTALLY GROW TOMATOES. IT WILL ALL WORK OUT FINE.)

Smarter today: I planted a tray wherein I skipped the edge spaces and left at least two empty rows between types. That left about 14 spaces per row and, with 2 seeds per cell, equaled out to about 2 1/2 - 5 rows per type. So a bunch more potential seedlings and we'll see how they grow. I've only grown the Black Krim before, all the others will be a new experience.

Black Krim - An old favorite that I was nonetheless not planning to grow this year. Given the changed circumstances, it was the specific seed I went looking for and was thrilled to find it. Two packets of this one and the Big Rainbow variety.
Aunt Ruby's German Green
Pruden's Purple
Big Rainbow - [personal profile] pinepigs_garden's been telling me I should try this one for years now, but the seeds aren't in my regular catalogs and it kept falling by the wayside. Finding it today was obviously a sign. ;) Two packets of this one, as I mentioned.

So that's temporarily sorted. Now to see how they grow and go from there.
