Man those look good. I screwed around and didn't get any tomato plants started and now it's too late. I'm sick and tired of the tasteless orange tomatoes that all the grocery stores around here sell. I did get some descent ones (not great) ones at the farmers market on Friday but I paid $5 for 4 tomatoes. I didn't have a lot of luck with my peppers either. I started bananas, jalapenos, and cayennes. The cayennes are the only ones that came up. For some reason every time it rained the banana and jalapeno seeds would float to the top of the dirt. I'd poke them back down and cover them back up but the next time it would rain the same thing would happen. I can't figure it out. They were all planted in the exact same flats.

BK, try covering the seeds with plastic till they sprout and are about an inch tall before exposing them to rain.
Thanks, I'll try to remember that for next year

I picked four five gallon buckets of tomatoes this morning and they were nice.
Very Nice Mike!! I’m Havin BLT’s for lunch today myself, lettuce and Tomatoes out of the Garden, and some smoked peppered Bacon from Kroger. I’ll be a happy House sitter here in No Time.
You may want to do a goggle search about using an aluminum pot to cook tomatoes. According to my bride and her farming family , it’s not a good idea.
Brown a couple of Squirrels or Rabbits, add
5 or 6 of Mike's West Virginia Tomatoes with the skins and seeds removed, add a big Onion, stalk of Celery and some Carrots, season it too taste and simmered into a stew. Yum Yum!
