Getting Ready for the Spring

Planting Tomatoes from Seeds

It is December and time for planting seeds for the Spring garden in zone 9b. I have some garden flats from They look like this.

They are really cost effective. You get the lids as well. I ordered my seeds from Baker Creek Farms and Seed Saver. I sowed three varieties per flat. I sow them close together as you can gently separate them to plant in 6 packs later. I never pinch off ones that are too close to each other. Here are a couple of examples.

In the second picture you can see at the top where I have already separated some of the tomatoes. My favorites are the Cherokee Purple and the Blue Gold tomatoes. What are you preparing to plant?
