Okay I finally finished my piece for the editor. I deserve to give myself a treat.
I think I'm going to order more seeds.
🤣
I really want those orange hat tomatoes.
I absolutely don't need them. I just want them. Attached, a tray full of tomato seedlings of a wide array of varieties.
An excessive array of varieties, frankly.
Also, here's another example of how I recycle things when I'm gardening. Lettuce boxes are nice and high and make decent cloches.
Ohhhhh.
I went and counted the number of varieties of tomatoes I planted. I am actually somewhat ashamed of myself for wanting more.
But I'm still going to buy them.
Loooordt.
I bought 3 more types of tomatoes.
That'll be 64 distinct varieties. 🫣
In my defence, I'm not just planting these for myself.
Many of the micro varieties (Rosy Finch, House, Golden Nuggets, Heartbreakers, and now Orange Hat and Blaue Zimmertomate) will find homes with people who only have balconies. You'd be amazed how many cherry tomatoes they produce, and in flushes. I'm hoping the two new varieties I'm adding to the selection will follow the trend.
I invariably end up giving seedlings to family, friends, and neighbours. And kind of everybody I know.
I promised to start seedlings for an org.
All right.
This amount is absolutely excessive.
I was let loose in the seedbank on top of my tried and true seeds. I bought a few because they sounded interesting and I wanted to try them. I'm pretty sure this is more than twice the number I had last year.
I don't know. I lost my damned mind thinking about all the different colours and types of tomatoes. Like: I've been growing Black Boar tomatoes for a few years and they're very tasty, and then the seed bank had something called Pink Boar! So I grabbed a pack. And I've never grown white tomatoes, so now I have three varieties.
I don't actually have anywhere to put 64 types of tomatoes, so a lot of these I'm not even going to get to see. Maybe.
Ideas are coming to me.
I feel like I've got friends with yards who like tomatoes, and I can probably get at least one off a plant from them.
All I know is that the big seed tray that last year had tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, and more, is just tomatoes this year.
Oh boy.
