All saved tomato seeds from last year have sprouted up and the tomatillo seeds I gathered from the ground in the garden a month ago are up too. Heat mat turned off. They were started on April 1.

A photo of a plant tray with 18 square pots that have new seedlings growing in them. 15 are tomatoes and 3 are tomatillo. The varieties are Amish paste, Chadwick cherry, San Marzano, Flamme, Principe Borghese, and Rio Grande tomatillo. In the upper right is a black container with blue lid that has a hole in it with 4 pieces of apple scion wood sticking out. They have been in cold storage for a year and seem to be alive and have callused up on the end so they are in water to see if they make roots.

Hello! I forgot to make an intro post when I moved to this instance. Ope!

I am Nessie. For entertainment, I make messes and then try and figure out how to clean them up. Aka I’m an artist, haha.

First tomatoes are up, peppers are growing fast, and some new growth on the overwintered Red Marconi sweet pepper that I pruned and fertilized.

A photo showing a new tomato seedling that is up and leaves out. It is a Principe Borghese tomato as indicated on the plant tag. Left of it are tomatilloes starting to sprout but not up. There is some leaf lettuce visible in the upper right. The seedlings are in tall 3.5 inch square pots in a 1020 tray.

A photo showing a Flamme tomato seedling. There is a white plant tag/stake that has the name hand written on it.

A photo showing a 1020 tray with 18 pepper plants in 3.5 inch square pots. Some of the plants are more than 4 inches tall or 10 cm.

A photo showing a jungle of different plants in a 1020 tray in the corner of an enclosed grow tent. The main feature is a saved from last year Red Marconi sweet pepper plant. It is starting to grow new leaves. It has verbena plants growing around it with pink/purple flowers that are in separate pots. There is also a rose campion/Lychnis and grape vine growing in other pots.

The first round of seeds for my container garden have all germinated! It’s the first year I’m using heirloom seeds I saved from a previous crop. I’ve got basil, white cherry and Brandywine tomatoes, and Jimmy Nardello and Bulgarian carrot peppers

A collection of small seedlings growing in peat pots, labeled with names such as "Brandywine" and "Basil." The pots sit on a tray, with some seedlings showing healthy green leaves and varying heights.

I don’t want to die with a freezer full of seeds, Chris Smith

"Our desire to preserve is strongly linked to a narrative of loss, both for biodiversity writ large and for rare heirloom seeds. But we recognize the need for biodiversity and destroy it in the same breath. What if we protected the Amazon instead of just the genetics within it? What if we supported small-scale diversified agriculture instead of industrialized monoculture?”
