Today is seedling thinning day.

I over planted because I'm never guaranteed of germination rates, which means that there are some things I have way too many of, and some things only one of them sprouted.

I also planted extras of the micro-dwarf tomatoes because I feel like everybody who has even just a little bit of space and enough sunshine, should be growing them. So I have some for my aunt's balcony, I have some for @adub and a couple other people, plus mine.

I think those are the first ones I'm going to transplant. It is definitely not the time to put it them outside yet, so I don't know if I'm going to hand them off to people yet unless they promise to keep them indoors until the May 2-4 weekend.

I'm still looking for a true brown micro-dwarf cherry to go with Orange Hat, Rosy Finch, House, and Blaue Zimmertomate. I found a couple of American seed sellers with what looks to be a true brown, but I don't think I can get them across the border. 😞

Anywho, I can tell which ones are my favourite tomatoes because some of them, even though there are plenty to share, I just don't want to give the seedlings away. Green Grapes is at the top of that list. Though I have six or seven of those so I really should give a couple of those away if I want to keep many of the other ones.

(I know most people snip the extra seedlings off, but I always untangle them in put them in separate pots to give away.)

Stinky pee season has officially begun!

I think I'm going to eat the fat ones and let the thin ones go to fern to nourish the roots.
