Starting My 2024 Tomato Seeds!

Sowing My 2024 Tomato Seeds!
I am going CRAZY CRAZY this time of year! SO close to gardening time, yet so far away...

Right now, my time is spent sowing seeds indoors in my Grow Light Shelves, to get ready for spring planting outside. This week, I am sowing my tomato seeds.

I have planted some seeds Mid January in order to try an experiment and get an early harvest for making some sauces, and some salsa. But this past week? I planted many more varieties of tomato seeds:

PLUM TYPE:
Yellow Plum, Ukrainian Plum, Roma, San Marzano
Small Variety slicer:
Tigerella
Larger, Beefsteak slicer variety:
Beefsteak, Cherokee Purple, Black Sea Man, Giant Crimson, Mushroom Basket, Ananas Noir (Black Pineapple), Brandywine Yellow

I will wait for two more weeks before I begin planting my Cherry TOMATO TYPES. Those have a faster germination rate and a shorter time from Seed to harvest. If I plant too soon, they'll be too big, before it is warm enough outside for me to plant them in their forever home!

THE biggest key I have is WHAT I plant them into: SIFTING SEED STARTER and POTTING SOIL to get the fluffiest and best soil for growing seedlings! I use a special Classifier made for the gem hunting/ gold mining hobby, to sort thru my potting and seed starting miux, to get that fluffy light mix of soil.

The thing is, when starting seedlings, I use a SEED STARTING soil-less mix. I grow the seedlings in a mix of half Sphagnum PEAT MOSS, 1/4 Vermiculite, 1/4 Perlite. The mix has no real soil. No nutrition. No fertilizer. NOW, the reason why, is that seed has all it needs to grow except light, air and water. Soil is not needed until a couple weeks into their growing.

It really helps me out if you subscribe to my YouTube Channel...
...and of course, if you SHARE the Video, too!

MANY Thanks!

Check out this video and take a look at HOW I start my 2024 Tomato seeds indoors. I have been good, and resisted so far, but time is NOW, for getting a move on. I know it was 22 degrees outside last night (-5 for you Celcius), but I need to get a head start so when it is warm outside, my tomato will be bigger, stronger, and healthier, to start growing faster!

Most of you know, I prefer to grow my own food, locally. It's healthier for my family, and for the planet. I know what goes into my foods, and what chemicals are NOT in my food. Also, It cuts down on carbon emissions, less trucking, planes, trains, and boats, to get fresh foods to my table.

And that makes me smile... better for the planet, better for my own family.
