Just finished repotting my tomato seedlings this morning. The dishes never got put away last night, but really, what's more important...?
I won't spend too much time on tips since I posted a lot on repotting and taking care of tomato seedlings last year. Lots of information on growing tomatoes from seed can also be found here.
I am planning to trade some tomato plants with a few friends, plus I may have a few extra to give away. So, for the record, these are the tomato varieties I'm trying this year:
2 cold-tolerant, early varieties:
Sub-Arctic Plenty, determinate (bush), 45 days (large cherry-size, red)
Siberia, determinate, 48 days (small-med sized, red)
and several relatively early indeterminate (vine) varieties:
Sugary, 60 days (cherry, only 2 germinated so sorry, none to trade)
Charlie's Red Staker, 65 days (large, red)
Sweet Gold, 65 days (yellow cherry)
I always admire you seed starters. My favourite plants are self seeders-much less work for me! One year I had a mystery tomato plant out the side of my composter, YUM!!

If you're up to it, try starting either Tumblers or Balcony Charms. They're perfect for containers. I had five on the deck and had literally thousands of tomatoes from them.
