Hello, Seedlings

Our first seedlings are up. I'll have to replant a few seeds, but of the ones I planted mid-month, most have come up. I'm especially pleased with the Heirloom Amish Paste tomatoes; the seed was actually from a packet that had been packed for 1999, so there was no guarantee it was still viable. But all of the spots in the pony pack I used now have nice healthy-looking baby tomato plants. I'd call that a definite win. My tomato beds have space for ten plants total. I'll put in six Amish Paste, two Burbank Red, and from our local greenhouse, two Principe Borghese, which are said to be great for sun-drying (or dehydrator drying.)
