My ML's did fine. Raise up the heat a bit and see if that helps. Maybe you have old seed? I hope you get some as they are huge tomatoes. Good luck!

If they are known to be slow, I can wait but if not I can try to start more today.

No, they aren't known to be slow and it was mentioed above it could be that the seeds are older ones, and I agree.

What was the source of your ML seeds?

Wamaterhead,

I musta read your mind cause I did just finish giving them some supplemental heat.

Carolyn,

Tomato Fest

20 varieties were split about 1/3 each between TGS, Tomato Fest and Reinmer.

Jet Star (from Reimer) was slow too but now have 2 seedlings. Everything else is producing more than enough for my needs and give aways too.

OK, so you sowed 12 seeds of ML.

Even with seeds 5 yo I get in xs of 50% germination and usually more.

I don't get worried about germination until about 2 weeks have passed so if I were you I think I'd wait a bit more b/c I haven't heard any germination problems re Tomatfest lately.

Over the years I've not been impressed with what I've been hearing re Reimers/

It's your choice but I'd consider:

TGS
Sandhill Preservation, no seeds over 2 yo sold
Victory Seeds

......for starters, for next year.

Carolyn

Thank you, really.

I've often searched out and noted your recomendations.

Each had something I wanted this yr. else I wouldn't have strayed :-)
