Well, I usually don’t even get around to starting anything, but I was anxious to have some Early tomatoes this year, because I was too lazy to get some brought in from the garden last year.

So I just decided that I could and would spend 10 minutes or less once a week on tomatoes from last year’s left over seeds. So on Thursday, if not before, I plant 4-8 seeds from one of the packets, cover the pot with clear plastic dome with a toothpick under one edge and make a note on the calendar.

That way I can just do it and be done with it, since it’s not a big project, and the former pantry closet in the kitchen is now the garden supply cabinet.

So I have coerced myself into a no way to use the no time excuse. LOL

It will pay off too! Last year I had started tomatoes really early. In fact at least twice what I knew I could possibly have space for. In the spring I put them on Craigs list and listed them for free everywhere I could think of and couldn’t give them away. I couldn’t believe it. Then later when they started to produce I had one neighbour who I offered some to send their son over to ask if they could have some tomatoes!!
