Hope they all do well. I'm still waiting for my seeds to arrive...guess I should look into that since I ordered a few weeks ago. Thanks for sharing! Hope they all do well.

I do know that if you have more than one kind, label them with something besides a mark on the side of the container (oops). I now have cherry and regular sized tomatoes in two colors, and I don't have a clue which is which. Oh, and once they get the second set of leaves, you should put a fan on them or brush your hands over them to en courage root and stem growth. Mine are about 3-4 inches tall and just waiting for the first week of May (I started them a little early because of spring fever).

This year, jury is still out. One thing I do is drape a dark cloth over the greenhouse for a few days as the seeds germinate. I think I must have read that somewhere! Then, after they start to sprout, I remove the cloth but leave the plastic on until they've all sprouted (or until they get too tall!) My tomato seeds did really well last year.

We tried planting tomatoes last year & they died, lol. But we really didn't know what we were doing and didn't do enough research. I'm thinking of getting started on some more, this coming week.
