Nothing about cats to post. I despise them, the wife loves them, therefore I have cats.
I never bought a cat. They just showed up as kittens on the farm with moms eaten by coyotes. The first one, now twelve, I didn't pay any attention to and wouldn't pet. So she adopted me as a challenge. Every night she has to snuggle under my chin in the crook of my arm to go to sleep. Every stinking night.
If I roll over she walks around my head on the pillow and back down to nuzzle me under the chin. I have to pet her to settle her down again on my bicep. She waits for me at night and if I stay up she comes and finds me to meow until I go to bed.

But, I didn't write to talk about cats. I wanted to talk tomatoes. If the tomatoes you are starting came from greenhouse grown ones, more than likely they are a hybrid and won't grow true to type. Do you know if they are open pollinated or not? You might just be wasting your time. Try totallytomatoes.com for seeds. A packet isn't anything and you can try a bunch. Personally even though I grow different ones I keep coming back to Rutgers tomatoes. They do the best in my garden. What kind do you, and anyone else on the thread, grow?

I would like to personally recommend Neves Azorean Red, an open-pollinated "heirloom" variety. Big red beefsteak (1 lb. +) with rich flavor. Makes a tasty BLT.

The tomato virus has taken over my yard so I can't grow any right now. I will enjoy your vicariously.

Recommended resource:

Tomatoville

and (this catalog carries NAR)

Tomato Growers Supply
