GROWING!!!!!

 Egads!

The tomatoes are GROWING like crazy.

They have OUTGROWN their shelf.

Jim laughed at me today...

they are SunGold cherry tomatoes.

Indeterminate and FAST growers.

He was all like... "You planted them ALREADY???"

Well, yes.

Last year we felt like we were behind.

So this year we decided to be proactive

and plant them early.

Possibly a little too early.

Possibly.

LOL.

Monday it was 84.

Today the high was 52 and its going

to be pretty chilly out there.

But LOOK AT SUNDAY!

And then it jumps back up and

nothing below 32 overnight for the

rest of the 15 day forecast and

likely for the rest of "winter".

(although there's always that surprise

spring storm possible...)

Anyhow.

We really need to do something with them.

We are thinking about taking them off the

shelf and putting them on a big table

and making a little PVC frame to hang

their lights (adjustable) above them.

Similar to Jim's setup.

Except his is permanent so he

made it out of wood.

Anyhow.

Hopefully by mid-next week we can

start moving them outside to harden off

and then get them (at least the cherries)

into the ground.

We have a lot of Roma tomatoes, but they

aren't in such a big hurry.

They'll be ok for awhile longer.

And I have another tray of 72 that are

just now getting their true leaves

so it will be at least a month before

they need to go outside.

But those CHERRIES!

Goodness gracious!

Hahahahahahahahaha.

(I've been picking flowers off them...

don't want them to start fruiting yet!)

But they WANT to.

We might be sitting in a parking lot

with trays of cherry tomatoes while

everybody else in town is just

starting to plant!
