The Ontario Gardener - Dec. 27, Tomato Seedling Update

[niffer58]

nice tomato's. No snow here. im in the pacific northwest. And yes im positive that plastic should make a big difference. it did when i covered only a 3rd of the windows in my house. i will be starting things very soon.

Nice progress! Looking good! Another way to lower heat loss through windows is bubble wrap. Cut the bubble wrapt to the window pane size (tape together pieces if need be), spritz the window with a msit of water and apply the bubble wrap (bubble side to the window, flat side facing inside) and that will give you an additional 1 r-value.

@theontariogardener sorry about that the only problem is Ihaven't started any tomato seeds. that was my joke I cant grow what i don't plant. i guess Ill get some seeds the first store i see selling them so i can get started

[dnatypro]

@theontariogardener only problem is.

[dnatypro]

Looking good. Wish I had tomato plants already. But ya can't grow them if ya don't plant them right lol

[TheOntarioGardener]

@dnatypro Thanks! What was/is the problem that you had?

[mhpgardener]

Ya'll can keep that snow....it is very unwelcome around here ! Looking good Jake, nice and healthy.

[TheOntarioGardener]

@mhpgardener So far so good Bobby. Lost one Tomato to DO, gotta watch my watering better. I plan on starting my onions and leeks in a couple weeks.

Looks great! Beautiful snow! Its started here as well we have a bit more than you over all but not much(keeps melting). I started a small container of leeks yesterday ;) I could help myself though I'll probably wait a week or two to really get started.

[TheOntarioGardener]

@knyquol haha... I knew you couldn't wait until January! I will be planting, or planning on planting the onion seed that you sent and the leeks in about 2 weeks. I think the onion seed that you sent will be more than enough for a flat, but I want to try and order my seeds for next year this week, so I can order some onion seed as backup.

[TheOntarioGardener]

@knyquol Oh, and make sure you make videos of your progress!

Very nice looking plants, doing a good job with em......Donald

[TheOntarioGardener]

@webcajun Thanks Donald!

The real test will be in a few months when I will have 100's of seedlings.
