I have addressed growing successful seedlings further in a new post.Nancy - I'm glad that you are also a tomato fanatic!Plantingoaks - I'm glad you reminded me to write more about organic fertilizers and compost. The Great Big Plants test last Summer was successful but incomplete. The drought made it difficult to do everything I wanted to do but I did like the product a lot and will be using it

Is it possible to write too much about tomatoes?? Your exuberance is well warranted...and your undertaking very inspiring!I garden in Minnesota, Zone 3 ---so I am all for extending the tomato season as much as possible in either direction. But I can't get them in the ground until late May...so I didn't seed mine until last week (one beauty is already up and loving life!)I grow three early

Thanks for posting a status on your early tomatoes. As you can see, most of the comments are positive about this.Many like me cannot have enough to read about tomatoes and you as an inspiration. This year, you where who inspire me to try and have early tomatoes by my birthday june 30.To tell you the truth, mine where planted a day earlier than yours and they are not even close to the size of

Your tomatoes look amazing. Mine... well, their a little scrawny. Do you transplant most of the stem when they are really little? And how many times did you transplant till they looked like this? My Jalepeno are looking fine. I think I'll also use your idea for staking the tomatoes and others up. Thanks for your help.

This is really unrelated, but did you ever have a final verdict on the fertilizer you tried last year? (http://www.gardendesk.com/2007/04/organic-gardening-and-great-big-plants.html)I'm looking for a good fertilizer for my first round of seedlings, and haven't had time to build up much in the way of my own compost yet.Your early tomatoes are definetly an inspiration to me.

As someone who overwintered her tomatoes and was picking an occasional treat in December, January and February,.... I'm with you all the way! Bring on the 'maters as early as possible!
