The seeds are actually pretty tiny:
From each of these tiny cherry tomato seeds, not much bigger than the head of a pin, a plant can grow that is 5-7 feet tall. It could produce over 100 tomatoes during the course of it's life. 30 of each type of cherry tomato (3 types) are being started.
Not all will be planted - not every seed germinates - and there is not currently room for 90 cherry tomato plants in the garden. Some will be planted and some will be kept as a back up. The tomatoes are germinated in a seed tray with small cells, each about the size of your thumb. They will get a good start here and then be 'potted on' to a tray with larger cells. All told, they will be 'potted on' twice before being transplanted into the garden. 'Potting on' encourages root growth leading to larger and stronger plants.
The Green Zebra tomatoes will go into the Oddities bed along with a couple other tomato varieties and some other surprises. More on those later.
Tomatoes germinate in 3-5 days so check back soon to see what happens!
