Four Specimens and more

It's day 27 for the tomato project.

I'll start out with some recent activities; I was off of work (vacation) this whole past week. I spent a lot of time working inside remodeling my kitchen ceiling and some time working outside around the yard. The weather was really gorgeous the past couple of days!

I was able to do some veggie work too:

    I potted up four of the Viva Italia seedlings that I started a while back.

    Colin and I sprouted some peas inside and he planted them in the garden yesterday.

    Some of the Jalepenos and bell peppers finally sprouted and are under the lights.

    I got some tomato seeds in the mail this week; they are a variety from China. I was
    so excited that I had to put a few in dirt just to see how they do. I think that was on Thursday.

Now onto the big news: the tomatoes are really getting big! I took pictures of four of the biggest specimens, one of each variety. Here they are:

All 4



Lemon Boy



Sweet 100



Better Boy



Viva Italia



I am starting to worry about having to pot up again; I don't want them to get rootbound before I get them outside. (And outside is 4 weeks away, minimum).
