I sowed my Tomato Seed, March 12th. This year, I am sowing some new varieties, some old familiar and a rare Variety. Here's what I am sowing in my New England, Zone 6b and 7a, gardens.
This year, I am sowing more Tomato than ever. I am trying to use the harvest fo tomato, to cover the Hunger Gap: That period between last harvest (for me November) and First harvest in spring. By canning tomato, and making sauce, I can help cover that gap.

I am hoping for about 65-75% germination, and after potting up and transplanting in to my Fabric Grow Bags, I am hoping for half of my seeds to reach maturity for harvest.
Most of you know, I prefer locally grown food. It's healthier for my family, and for the planet. In fact, I prefer to grow my own food. I know what goes into my foods, and what chemicals are NOT in my food. Also, It cuts down on carbon emissions, less trucking to get fresh foods to my table.
And that makes me smile... better for the planet, better for my own family.
