Re: "So I finally have started this years tomato seeds. Assuming all of my seeds germinate I will grow the following heirlooms:"I planted nearly three weeks ago (see photo, below) but will do a second round this weekend. Most of my tomatoes and marigolds have sprouted. Nothing yet from the peppers or eggplant - which are outside the photo's bounds. I haven't used a grow-light but will soon.

I've only got two varieties of tomato planted: Marion and Ace-55. I expect to have tons of volunteers too. There were literally hundreds of yellow pear tomatoes (cherry-tomato sized) left on the ground in the fall. I'll be pulling those plants out of the smaller garden like weeds.

You'll notice that the tomatoes near the bottom of the photo are leaning. That's because they tilt toward the light every morning. These plants are shown leaning AWAY from the window - because I just turned them around. I read somewhere that doing so will force them to not favor one direction more than another, resulting in stronger stalks. A myth? I don't know, but I'm turning them. In two hours, they'll be leaning the other direction.
