We have over 30 tomato (and some patios in pots) plants in the garden. Some have golf ball sized fruit already. I planted about 25 seeds in a bucket thinking maybe 1/2 would come up, and every one came up. I gave several of those away to my neighbor.

Of course, we bought the patio tomato plants. Then the wife ordered some heirloom plants and we got a double shipment. That was another 20 or so plants. Cucumber plants have runners starting, strawberries are yummy already and pepper plants are going crazy.

You clearly don’t live in NY.

I started a bunch of seeds like that and all of mine came up also. I’m used to not having a lot of success with seeds, so I have more plants than anticipated.

I’ve got Heinz tomatoes for homemade sauce, and beefsteaks for eating. YUM!
