Ugh! We got up to another fresh coat of white covering the world today. It's probably only an inch but it's an inch too much for me. The east coast is getting bombed with blizzards again. And I'm so sick of cloudy dreary skies. I think I have seasonal affective disorder. I need sunshine.
How could tomatoes grow in this gloom? I think we need something of a miracle to see sun. So far, much like last year. I might chicken out on wintersowing the tomatoes and start them inside like last year. I'm torn.
Last year my good friend was at my house, popping my Snow White cherry tomatoes in her mouth, raving about their taste. She asked where I get them, I told her that I order the seeds online and grow them from seeds. She doesn't do any seedstarting, doesn't grow tomatoes. Her Dad grows tons of them and suplies her with tomatoes every year, as do I. She asked me to get some for her this year, and she would get her Dad to grow them for her. That was last summer.
I received my seeds in the mail a couple of days ago. We ran into this friend and her husband at a restaurant last night. I told her I had the tomato seeds for her. She went nuts and said "SEEDS! What am I going to do with seeds ?!!! I thought you'd grow the plants for me!" So, now I have to grow a few extras for her (her Dad really), as well as another friend. I should wintersow them so that the plants are really tiny when they get them. Boy, they'd be surprised when all that fruit ripens.
It's a good thing these people are good friends.
