It's time to start a new growlog. I planted my tomato and pepper seeds yesterday morning (March 18th).
Here's my tomato list:
- Aker's West Virginia x 1 (from Gardenboy of Tomatoville in 2016; sprouted on 30 Mar)
- Amana Orange x 25 (1 plant from timelesstomatoes.store, 24 plants from my saved seed, descended from Marsha's seed; I planted 8 plants from each of three different fruits saved in 2021 from plant B1; the first one sprouted 28 Mar; the timelesstomatoes.store one sprouted on 31 Mar)
- Aunt Ginny's Purple x 2 (from seed I saved last year from plant A; sprouted 2 Apr)
- Big Cheef x 1 (from GardenBoy of TomatoJunction in January 2020; sprouted 8 Apr)
- Brandy Boy F2 x 1 (from seed I saved in 2019 from plant A; sprouted 28 Mar)
- Brandy Boy F11 x 1 (from seed I saved in 2019 from plant A; sprouted 26 Mar)
- Brandywine OTV x 1 (from Tormato in 2016; marked 2015; sprouted 6 Apr)
- Brandywine Pink x 1 (Livingston Seed Co. packet with barcode 048389049593, gifted to me by a local friend; packed for 2011; sell by 10/2011 LOT 10; wow, these are old--I didn't know until now; I like old seed, though! Sprouted on 30 Mar)
- Carolina Yellow x 1 (Thresh Seed Co. with barcode T0-SL-002, packed for 2022, sell by 12/22, LOT A; sprouted by 4 Apr)
- Cherokee Golden x 1 (from JohnnyRock of Tomatoville, January 2020)
- Cherokee Purple x 1 (from Marsha's 2016 SASE seed offer on Tomatoville)
- Cherokee Yellow x 1 (1 seed; from JohnnyRock of Tomatoville, January 2020)
- Cherokee Yellow Perfection Peach x 2 (each from a different fruit; from seeds saved in 2020 from plant A, fruits #1 and #3; both sprouted 28 Mar)
- Cherokee Yellow Red x 1 (2 seeds; from JohnnyRock of Tomatoville, January 2020)
- Cherokee Yellow Yellow Pear x 1 (from JohnnyRock of Tomatoville, January 2020)
- Frog Princess x 1 (from Julianna of TomatoJunction who got them from Remy / Sample Seed Shop; sprouted on 30 Mar)
- Gold Medal x 1 (from tradewindsfruit; packed for 2015)
- Golden Queen x 1 (from Timeless Tomatoes in 2016; sprouted 9 Apr)
- Hamson x 1 (from hometownseeds.com, purchased in 2021 or 2022; sprouted 28 Mar)
- Italian Heirloom x 1 (from Thresh Seed Co.; packed for 2021; sell by 12/21; LOT B; barcode T0-SL-009)
- Medovaya Kaplya cross F2 x 6 (from seed I saved in 2017; trying for a red round PL sweet cherry; first container sprouted on 29 Mar)
- Mountain Gold x 1 (from Timeless Tomatoes in 2016)
- Orange Banana x 6 (from Timeless Tomatoes; they might be new or from 2016; I don't know; sprouted 2 Apr)
- Orange Caprese x 1 (from Tormato in 2016; marked 2015; sprouted 1 Apr)
- Pinky Blast x 1 (from Tormato in 2016; marked 2015; I think he got them from AlittleSalt)
- Primrose Gage x 1 (from Tormato in 2016; marked 2015; sprouted 1 Apr)
- Snacker-B F4 x 6 (from seeds I saved last year, from plant B; the first one or two sprouted 28 Mar)
- Super Sweet 100 F1 x 1 (Burpee seeds packed for 2013; from Tormato in 2016)
- Vorlon x 1 (from Tormato in 2016; marked 2015; sprouted by 4 Apr)
- Yellow Brandywine x 1 (I don't have a record of where I got these, but the packet and handwriting look exactly like those of Big Cheef; so, I'm guessing GardenBoy of TomatoJunction in January 2020)
- Yoder's German Yellow x 1 (from JohnnyRock of Tomatoville in January 2020)
Here's my sweet pepper list (all Capsicum annuum):
- Canary Bell x 12
- Coral Bell x 9
- Lunchbox Yellow, Orange, and Red x 11 (they're all in a mixed packet; it came with 11 seeds and I planted each seed in its own container; I overseeded the other varieties in this list; sprouted 2 Apr)
- Quadrato Giallo x 1
- Sunbright x 2 (the first sprouted 8 Apr)
- Big Red x 1
So, I have three trays of seeds. Each tray has 36 cells. The cells are a good size.
I added some turmeric to the soil, this time (never done that before). Hopefully that wasn't a bad idea. I read somewhere that it deters pests or something, but if it was a bad idea, at least I didn't add a terrible lot of it. I added food grade diatomaceous earth to the soil, as I did last year (but probably less than last year).
I put some cinnamon on top after watering, to help protect the seedlings against damping off disease (hopefully it's not too early to add the cinnamon; I'm not sure).
I watered in wood ash and monoammonium phosphate as I've done for the last few years.
I plan to start putting the trays outside during the day probably in about a week. For now, they're in the house.
I overseeded most of the tomatoes and peppers.
I didn't end up ordering from Sand Hill Preservation Center (to get another strain of Amana Orange, and more melons/watermelons), or anywhere else, after all. Maybe later. For now, I've got plenty of stuff to grow, and I can breed my own strain of Amana Orange.
I've decided I don't plan to grow any muskmelons, this year.
I do plan to grow watermelons: I plan to seed those in foam cups outdoors after the last frost, some time (that seems to work better than doing it earlier and better than direct-seeding; with direct-seeding, they don't germinate as well, or grow as fast, and volunteer melons growing with the seeded melons make things confusing).
So, let's see what watermelons I do plan to grow (since I didn't order any new ones):
I think I'm just going to grow King Winter and Winter Queen. aI hope to grow many plants. If they cross, I'll know what the cross was. I have Santo Domingo Winter, too, and maybe other Santo Domingo types, but I think I'll save those for next year.
Well, I might still order from SHPC and/or other places before I plant the watermelons. So, I might grow the Wintermelon watermelon, too.
