It was very rude of the jet stream to be fickle like this.
I planted some old beet, pea, and lettuce seeds (for the fun of it) in one of the beds last week, and threw a ton of dry leaves over them yesterday, to see if they can survive.
What do you do with old seeds anyway?
I potted up my 'dwarf' tomatoes tonight...sturdiest seedlings I have EVER seen...reminded me of sprouted beans or cucumbers. They are in their first year of release, and I have a feeling that they are going to become VERY popular...they were designed to be grown in containers, and will be a boon to those with limited space. There are thirteen of them (collect 'em all), with nine more due to be released in 2013. These are regular size tomatoes on a plant that only grows to three or four feet. Can't wait to try them...
