Tomatoes, Peppers, and Eggplant Placed in Small Pots

Just wanted to let you know that I decided on planting tomatoes a little bit earlier than last season.  This year I want to make sure that I get plenty of Roma tomatoes that I can then use to make sauces that I can then store for the Winter.

I thought last years tomatoes were real good and instead of getting all new tomatoes I just purchased the same hybrid seeds I got last season.  This includes the Roma super sauce and Steakhouse varieties.  If it isn’t broken then don’t fix it is what I say.

 

I also planted cherry tomatoes as well since these are one of my favorite types to put into salads and eat them whole.  Each hybrid tomato I placed just one seed in each since I don’t get that many seeds in a package it only makes sense to use just one per pot.

This is the only time that I would actually use one seed.  Most of the time they come with plenty of seeds that you can put multiple in order to make certain that something will sprout.  Cherry tomatoes are the only ones that I placed two seed per container.

I planted some black beauty eggplant along with California wonder peppers.  These are just regular peppers and can be used for many things during the summer.  I started them now because last season they didn’t do that well inside.  I want to change that this year.

The eggplant were planted in black plastic pots the exact same ones as the tomatoes.  The peppers I decided to use six peat pots because of their sensitive roots.  All of these plants were placed under fluorescent lights.
