Starting Seedlings.

I have been starting random small batches of seedlings. I have a few Big Beef, Everglades, Atkinson, and Floramerica. I need to start more Floramerica.

Sounds good, nice to see you have some heat tollerant variety's. Good luck.

Now quit rubbing it in that you are still growing, my plants are on their way out, it will be over soon. :wink: :cry: Never fear though cause the basement is filling up with winter dwarfs. So all is good. :)

I've been down for over 2 months. I still have spider mite trouble.

Miami is getting a lot of heavy rains right now. Because all my seedlings are exposed to the elements, this is taking a heavy toll on the plants. Only the strongest will survive. Condition normal for Miami.

I have an idea that if it works could be just plain scary. I want to try grafting. I have one spot in my yard that held a mulch pile for 30 years. I grew one Red Brandywine there last year that almost buried me in tomatoes, I would like to graft a really large tomato onto Maxifort root stock and plant it in that spot. I need to find some Maxifort seed.
