First entry of the 2026 season. I typically set goals, but I have no goals yet bcuz I didn't plan on growing this season. We have a lengthy trip to Colombia planned smack in the middle of the growing season which impacted my ability grow this year. Today, our trip schedule changed which now allows me to squeeze in one short round of 8 tomato plants. Seeds already soaking tonight. My seed start line up includes... 10.06 Clayton 9.06 Brown 8.39 Young 8.02 Greene 3.88 Domingo (thank you Billy King and Porkchop) 3.21 Greene For those wondering... yes, that is Vicente Domingo's OG seed from 2007.

Started 13. 10 germed. Potted up yesterday and put 'em back in the grow tent. Temp set to 68 degrees with grow light on for 16 hours, off for 8. They'll live there until they're about 3-4" tall, before moving outside. Unfortunately, the lone 3.88 Domingo and lone 9.06 Brown failed to launch, along with one of the two 8.39 Young's. One of the two 3.21 Greene's couldn't shed its seed hull so I delicately removed it with tweezers. Not sure the cots are gonna open (bottom left) though. It's looking pretty rough this AM.
