I planted these tomato seeds on April 11, I think that's a little late, but hey - better late than never! I also threw them into some packs that already had dirt in them from whatever I killed last year. 

The week I planted them, it rained and I forgot about them, and the soil dried out, and then it rained again, but I really thought I killed them, but I kept watering them just in case. A week later there were 1-2 seedlings and I was happy because I was going to get a few, and I put chive seeds in the cells where nothing had come up, and continued watering them. Tomatoes are hardy, and the rest totally sprang up a week later, so it looks like I'll have a lot of them. These are the varieties: 

Dr Carolyn
Uncle Mark Bagby
Tomato Paul Robeson
Tomato Purple Bumblebee
Tomato Basrawya



My friend also shouted out on facebook that he had more tomato plants then he could handle, so I picked up a couple each of the Martinos Roma and principe borgese he offered up.
I planted one of each of those in a large container with a nursery-purchased Arkansas traveler, I put a tomato cage over each, and planted a couple borage seeds in the middle, and a few bunching onion and chive seeds in between, hopefully some of those come up.

These little guys are prolific spreaders and find their way into all my containers, they make so many seeds each year! They even grow out of the cracks inbetween the cement in my driveway (though those have never bloomed).
