As mentioned in the previous post, I purchased tomato seeds last year that never got planted.  I also had seeds I saved from my Sweet 100 cherry tomato plant from last year, as well as some seeds a coworker gave me. 

Sitting in the window sill are the following tomato varieties:

• Sweet 100 (Cherry)
• Tiny Tim (Cherry)
• Super Sauce Hybrid (Roma)
• Cherokee Purple Heirloom

Sweet 100 Tomato plants growing(or weeds)

So far the Tiny Tim and Sweet 100s are growing.  One Cherokee Purple just recently sprouted, and the Roma's are doing nothing.  I have two pots of each type set up, but I only intend to keep one of each plant, giving the spares away.

Newspaper Pots

Last year I purchased some tomato seeds at the local home and garden show, but due the circumstances moving out of our condo and into our current home, I never got a chance to plant them.  I am this year though.  A few weeks ago I decided to make my own starter pots using old newspaper. I got the idea from various websites and youtube videos I had seen in the past, like this one(LINK).  The newspaper pots are similar to those biodegradable pots some plants are sold in now.
The idea is that they break down over time, and you can actually put the plant in the ground while it's still in the pot.  The tomato seeds went in soon after, and then the pots went into some desk drawer dividers that I re-purposed into trays.  I had the newspaper laying around already(lots of it available at work), so this pot project cost me $0.  The pots and seeds are now happily sunning themselves in a bright window, with a long mirror positioned on the window ledge to reflect and amplify the light.

"Question.  Would you like to see where your dinner came from. . . . do you think we should have the right to see where our food comes from.  That question is at the heart of a battle between animal rights activists and farmers."
