Just pulled out my seeds but cannot find any tomato seeds. I think I'm just going to do a couple of varieties of cherry this year and all of those seeds were 6 years old so I likely tossed them but I did have a few larger varieties from the last two years but don't see them either. Found all my other warm weather stuff in the container they should be in but no maters in there.
Weird.
Johnny's has 7 cherry varieties for greenhouse/tunnel growing but packs of 15 seeds at about $8 aka $0.50 per seed. Here I thought the Salanova® price was bad. I'll pass.
I think I'll try Amish Paste as well. Haven't been having much luck with maters larger than cherry but have never tried a paste variety. Added those, a couple of cherry, a crisp but not heading lettuce, plus a romaine type to my rareseeds cart to try. Rosella cherry I've already tried and like the taste but they had poor production. It was one of those high 90s temps for months on end Spring/Summer years. New one I'm trying is Riesentraube.

I'm setting my last frost date for April 5th instead of May 5th this year and will start the first month off as succession. If I lose the first batch to a frost, I'll have another ready to follow.
Soon as it gets a wee bit warmer, I'll start back on the tunnel. I have all the poly film I need and then some. Bought enough to recover the top since that film is already two years old.
I'm finally goat free, albeit not in the best of ways. They just quit coming back one day. Didn't notice for almost a week. Happened during my work week. With any luck, someone stole them but it might be more likely that they went out too early or stayed out too late and the coyotes got them. Sad but freeing. I was sick of the "this is why we can't have nice things" but sad to think about them suffering.
I get my shop back but it's going to take a days to clean it out, including the built in shelves, and I doubt it will never lose the smell unless/until I get some concrete.

That's smart!
Your tunnel, once you get the hang of it, is going to give you an embarrassment of riches!
I have some things that need to go into my greenhouse, but I need to shovel it out to get the doors open. Also - since it's full of straw from last season (remember - it RAINED ALL THE TIME on me last year) so I'm sure every mouse in the Tri-County Area is LIVING in there this winter. It was 66 in there today - while about 10 degrees outside.
I'm taking Eva Grace, my 'Killer Queen' cat with me - she'll have some fun, LOL! She's been a total JERK all winter in the house so far.
