Hi!

I just suggested on the introduce yourself forum that you come over here and - here you already are!

If your plants are still indoors and not getting very much light, don't worry too much about a slow start because of cool temperatures. If they are outdoors, there is not much you can do about it, either.

Too much warmth/too little light and the growth would be weak and not make for good plants.

You have some wonderful tomatoes in your part of the world!

Steve

Are you growing them indoors under lights or outdoors? In pots? In the ground? If outdoors, how cold is "very cold"? Tomatoes probably shouldn't be outdoors if night time temps are below about 7 deg C. and even at that temp, they will be growing slowly.

Sounds like a nice selection of tomatoes.
I'm not familiar with all of them, but it seems like Sunsugar may be the first to produce ripe fruits for you. Any other extra early varieties?

I haven't posted an update lately, but you might be interested in this thread:

We're expecting a temp drop in the 30's°F this weekend so I'm waiting to get past that (I have to bring all my seedlings back inside :roll:) but I believe I will be planting some of them next week under a low tunnel.
