Replanting Tomatoes from seed...

I can't find any local tomato plants that are small enough to fit in my “Tomato Loco” planters, so I'm starting more from seeds. Red Siberian have already sprouted, Tomato Bush, Silvery Fir Tree hopefully will sprout soon.

Anyone who has a suggestions for Tomato plants for containers... pls let me know.

Thanks All for your patience, Craig

Getting late for starting them from seed. Try taking cuttings off your older plants. Most of the time they’ll root.:)

Update: Late start on restarting Tomatoes from seeds...

I just transplanted the first of 4 Red Siberian plants, which were restarted from seed on July 15th. They had reached approx 5" in height and appear very vigorous. The Tomato Bush Silvery Fir tree are approx 2" in height now... so I'll wait a week to transplant them. We never have Frost in Santa Barbara, so the growing season is not a problem. Thanks All, Craig

too cool! Glad they’re doing well! Ours here are about gone. Couple of weeks of high nineties with a heat index in triple digits...

Never heard of either of those varieties. Let us know how they turn out!
