Online seed company with low shipping and handling charge?
Comments (37)Is there any perfect seed company that has low seed prices, low shipping and handling, huge selection of varieties all in stock, both heirloom and hybrids, that accepts internet orders using a credit card and ship within a day with no **** No, there is no such perfect company that will offer every OP or hybrid that you might want, that takes phone orders or credit cards and ships within a day or two, that has low seed prices and low shipping costs and has great customer service I'll add. I think it's a matter of you deciding what's most important to you. Is it variety selection? Is it what you call low cost shipping, low seed prices, etc. I don't know of anyone who buys tomato seed from just one company so if I were you I think I'd reveiw some of the companies that have been suggested to you and after checking them out chose however many places might meet your needs, on a priority basis re all the criteria you mentioned.

Comments (89)An update on my two crosses from last year. I saved seeds from the F1 cross with my Ribbed Red and Indigo Rose and Joe's Pink Oxheart. Here is what I have popping up so far in the F2's: Selbo's Ribbed Red x Indigo Rose: So, not much evidence of anthocyanins except in the first one, but that one has some minor ribbing. Only significant ribbing in one, but much different from my original tomato. Selbo's Ribbed Red x Joe's Pink Oxheart: Summary: So far only one seems to take after it's heart shaped father, and looks like it might attain some size. But like Joe's Pink Oxheart, not productive for me at all. So far only the large tomato and three further up the plant, the rest of the blossoms have fallen off. The rest are largely turning out smaller in size, more productive, and mostly highly ribbed but again, more like traditional ribbed tomatoes with pronounced ribs vertically striping the fruit. There are a few others that appear to be destined to be small tomatoes, with more heart shape to them, less ribbing, but not many fruit produced so far. The fruit clusters are all mostly like those of tomatoes of larger size, unlike the Indigo rose crosses that all appear in long trusses. Assuming bugs or disease don't kill any of these off, it will be interesting to see what happens over the summer as they start to ripen. ....See MoreHow many cherry tomatoes can I put in one 10 gallon pot?
Comments (34)Nitsua, LOL! Yes, each time I saw this thread title that's what I thought, like one of those carnival games of counting how many gumballs were in the jar to win a prize. I didn't think to calculate either until Deeby asked for a formula to convert her pot size to gallons which is sort of the same thing. Deeby For a 20" top diameter pot, if you don't want to measure the height, bottom diameter and top diameter and get the exact gallons in the convenient online calculator, an estimate is that you have a sort of #20 or #25 pot, the height coming way up your thigh is quite tall. Most 20 inch pots are around 20 gallons, but the formula gives around 27 gallons since I guessed your "half way thigh high" is about 25 inches tall, but that was hard to work with since you could be wearing shoes, measuring the outer lip, or it could be sitting on a saucer, etc. Because pots have different slants from top to bottom, it isn't enough just to measure the top diameter. Yours sounds closest to the #25 tall here which is shorter but a little wider so around 25 gallons sounds reasonable. You can compare it to commercial pot sizes at nursery pots also to get a really good idea of the gallons: Nursery Pot Commercial Sizes The other way to do it is to see if the company/product number is on the bottom of the pot and see if their website has it listed in gallons too. Most do. Volume is what is important to roots, however you wish to measure it, since containers come in all shapes, as long as they are reasonable.

Comments (66)That's a fair point. In Montreal, your growing season is pretty much May-September. We're at the end of May, and you're not even sure you have seedlings. So you've used up about a quarter of your growing season looking for seedlings. Unless you're wedded to these particular plants, buying larger plants at this time might be smart. No, tomatoes don't take a long time to grow as seedlings, as long as they're kept warm (70-75F), and they get plenty of light. But even then, it'll be several weeks before you're ready to plant out....See MoreTomatoZesty 9B Central CA:Coastline
