Seeds--Tomato & Pepper

[astarte]

So I ordered seeds & they came yesterday, and I'm convinced that the EB growing speed will make up for the late seed start.  All ordered from Tomato Growers

Peppers:

Roumanian Rainbow: Bell peppers, start ivory turn persimmon orange then red
Serrano del Sol Hybrid: 2x the size and 2-3 weeks earlier
Ancho San Martin Hybrid: large, early, produces 75 days
Whopper Improved Hybrid: I did a whopper tomato last year, this blocky peppers turn green to red, 72 days, good sunshield
Jamaican Hot Chocolate Habaneros:  (why yes for cookies, why did you ask?) although i think the smoky flavor might be weird, i may have to buy a regular hab plant

Tomatoes:
Sprite: (freebie) small grape tomato
Variegated: has varigated foliage, the tomatoes before they turn red are variegated.
Tomande VFFNT Hybrid: ribbed tomatoes, 6-7 oz old world style lots of disease resist. indet.
Jetsetter VFFNTA Hybrid: 8oz good for the south indet.
HealthKick: mom had a great run with this last year.  yea for lycopene; deter;
Sweet Chelsea VFNT Hybrid- swears its better than sweet 100--resists cracking, 10+diseases; 10+ clusters of 15-20 fruits; harvests until frosts, indt.
Grape tomato: yum.


plus other seeds:
pablano, cukes, watermelon, squash, zuc, etc.

15 boxes plus 5 at mom's and some in the ground at her house.

Are you planting all these seeds directly into the EB?

I'm off to a slow start with bad weather here in CO.  I have to start my seeds over for some as they are not coming up for 3 weeks now so I'm thinking of the baggy method.  Check here for baggy method link.  I always buy plants too.
