It turned out to be forty-four pots, because I forgot I’d gotten two extra varieties from the Winter Sown tomato offer. I can’t honestly say I have room for them, but I started a pot each anyway. I also put more Buran pepper seeds into the old pots. I’m thinking it might just be too cold still for them to have germinated; I rooted around a couple of pots and found the seeds, not moldy or anything, but not growing either.
Varieties planted today:
- Utah celery
- Cutting celery
- Hyssop
- Feverfew (at least, I hope so; I wasn’t sure what was seed and what was chaff)
- Snowball (not Snow Crown, as I thought and labeled them) cauliflower
- More Sorrento and Romanesco broccoli
- Tomatillos, presumably Verde
- Rosa Bianca eggplant
- Tomatoes: Black from Tula, Jelly Bean, Cosmonaut Volkov, Costoluto Genovese, Golden Jubilee, Italian Market Wonder, Livingston’s Golden Queen, Persimmon, Principe Borghese, Roma, San Marzano, Tiger-Like, and Zapotec Pleated
It looks like the greenhouse-by-the-window setup should be okay. We’ll see after these things sprout.

Wow, everything sounds great. A few of the wintersown tomato seeds didn’t work for me but I did manage to get one Italian Market and one Golden Jubilee.
I wasn’t able to get anything from the Anise seeds though.
I can’t wait to see more of your new plants.

Hmm. Now I don’t feel so foolish for planting double pots of all the tomatoes except the two last ones (Golden Jubilee and Livingston’s Golden Queen). I think we’re both going to have tomato forests this year.
