I am so excited! I have hundreds of little tomato seedlings in the basement. I just finished watering them. Almost every single seed I planted last Sunday has sprouted and quite of few of the ones I planted just 3 days ago are up too. I'm really pleased with the germination rate of this year's seed.
Next comes the tedious part of transplanting each of them into individual pots. My Grandma is coming to help, she's been looking forward to this for a while now. I took her downstairs yesterday to see the progress. She says this is the best time of the year.

Excellent! Sounds great. I've forgotten -- do you guys sell tomato plants at the Farmers Markets, or are these just the plants you'll use?
Are you growing Sun Gold cherry tomatoes? They are so delicious!

Thanks Tom! I do sell some of the plants at the markets, although the majority are for our garden. We plant about 300 tomato plants each year.
I will be bringing some of them to the April 10th St Louis Community Farmers' Market.
As for the second question, no, I don't grow Sun Golds. I do grow Yellow Pear tomatoes and Reisentraube tomatoes (meaning large grape in German) and my mom's tomatoes, Sherry's Cherries. These are our personal favorites of the cherry tomato varieties.
