Tomato Time 2016

We moved last year.  And we knew we were moving before it was even time to plant tomato seeds.  So I took a year off - entirely off from starting seeds, and mostly off for the garden.  Only planted a couple of things and the size of the garden was much smaller.  For 8 summers I first tried, and then succeeded in growing tomatoes from seed.  It's tricky.  But not that hard.  As long as you have the right light for it.

I used to have a beautiful, south-facing room with six side-by side large windows - two on the west and 4 on the south.  It was amazing for starting tomatoes.

Now things are different.  I have a south facing window - but only two side by side and some big trees in front of the windows.  So we are going to see how this goes.  Might be a bit of an experiment.  But I'll keep you posted, and I can always buy a few seedlings at the nursery.   At least this time I don't have to have my greenhouse in my tiny office.  It's now in our spare bedroom (that's a Murphy bed in the photo.  It's fantastic!!)

Just a reminder, though, if you are starting seeds for tomatoes or peppers, now is the time.
