No, I have had three different sowings of tomatoes. The ones in the gallon pots are probably as big as the ones in the paper pots but look smaller cause of the larger container AND they are buried DEEP. But the ones in the 4" square pots are really behind. I think they were second sowing, but still, should be larger than they are. I'm hoping taking them out of the paper pots will speed things along Shrug!

I had a few that didn't germinate well (Brad's Black Heart, Opalka) so I had to do a second sowing of them which was my fourth sowing all together.

I have two different kinds of stock also, Quartet Mix and Vintate Mix. I love them for the fragrance as well.

I put my tomatoes out as soon as I potted up from the plug trays, usually with first true set, but sometimes not even that. (I'm always in a hurry) Rolling on the floor laughing

Basically I did about 14 (288 ct) plug trays not counting tomatoes and peppers at 24 of each variety average (lobelia and a few other things I did more rows) but approximately 160 different things. Some, like agastache and coleus, probably four or five varieties. My daughter and I go crazy picking out seeds and this year we went overboard. I do sell some though and I use a lot for cut flowers, but my mainstays, zinnia and celosia I usually direct sow. So we're trying a lot of new things this year. It should be an interesting year. I will try and take LOTS of pictures!!! Sticking tongue out
