Tomato tropics

The tomatoes are growing and growing. We have them in a room in our house, the room that will someday be Henry's, waiting till it is time to move them to the greenhouse. We tried a colder room this year compared to last, hoping to get stocky, sturdy plants. It seemed to be a little too cold, though, inhibiting the plants from getting the phosphorous they need from the soil, so now we have a space heater going in there off and on. Plus a fan for good circulation which also helps keep the plants healthy - prevent damping off and to get the stalks strong. So it's lovely in there, green and breezy and balmy. Makes me excited for greenhouse season!!

In the photo above in the very forefront you can see some newly sprouted tomatoes, better view below. The first ones we planted are already in 4 inch pots. There are also some sweet pepper plants way in the back there.
