Do 'Missouri Marble' dats start out green?

karma, Well, do you think there's a possibility of them starting out green, dying back, and then coming back variegated? Have you let any of your green seedlings go a year or two to see? I'm just curious what to do with these, now. I'm going to plant at least a couple, because I like dats. On your seedlings, do you remember what colors they bloomed? I know that the guy I traded with has no idea about this, and I need to tell him. He's more into succulents and cacti. He is branching out into leafy plants, though, and likes variegated. Who knows? These may be some seedlings from some of your seeds! LOL! Your pictures are gorgeous. I do have to admit I am disappointed that they won't be variegated, but I'll get one eventually! LOL! Thanks for the info and the pics of your beautiful dats! Sherri

It depends on what your growing zone is. Don't start them too early or they'll get leggy in midsummer. I like them just ready to bloom so I start them in my greenhouse in mid April to set out at the end of May. The plants may have 1 bloom or only buds then. If you look at your seed package it says start seed 6 to 8 weeks early and set out after all frost is gone

It would be a bummer to miss another planting season! Find an independent nursery (not a big box store) because they usually carry larger plants. But make sure they are in a large container (and check to make sure the pot is not filled with matted or circling roots). Get something easy and tasty like Sungold cherry tomatoes. This way you get to enjoy some tomatoes in June while you plan for next year. There are so many varieties -- some are good for slicing and eating fresh, while some are good for sauce only. Consider how you want to use them before you buy seeds. Here we start tomatoes inside in December and plant them out in February (with protection at night). We cut down tomatoes in early July because they shut down in the heat. I shade them and water them all summer and, if I'm lucky, they come back to life after Labor Day.

Shawn I just put mine out in the ground last spring. They germinate real easy. At least for me. Had a lot new seedlings coming up after seed pods had popped open and the seeds were in the ground. The single white variety even bloomed not long after growing into a tiny plant. Since space is sparce (sp), I rather start other seeds indoors.

Do you think they would have time to get big enough to bloom in my zone if I started them outside?

I start some of the doubles inside early but they have such erratic germination rates. I have seeds from the same pods sprouting at 2 weeks and others 4 months later. I do think they germinate better when started outside but some bloom so late in the season if they aren't started early. I end up sowing them from Feb through May. Some varieties will self seed. Shawn I have a few varieties you might want. Send me an email.

pagdnr - start your seeds in Feb. or March. They will have plenty of time to get to size in our zone. I've had seeds germinate from the previous year outside by themselves in June and they still get to be a respectable size. Karyn1 is also correct about the erratic germination. Some of mine take up to 7 months to germinate so don't give up on them. The dbl/trpls wont grow as large as the singles.

regards,

Jack

I totally agree with both karyn and blicon1 (Hey Jack, where have you been?) with their advice. Metels inside early and all the rest can be planed direct, word to the wise do not plant many of the La Fleur (weed) as that one can get away from folks and cause a problem.
