Solanum lycopersicum
Last year I had about four tomato plants that I bought from a garden center which yielded quite a tasty and hefty bounty. This year, I decided I wanted to step it up a notch and try to start my tomato plants from seeds. The varieties of tomatoes are endless, but I knew I wanted a determinate (or bush) variety (instead of vine) and it had to do well in containers since I am a backyard-less New Yorker. I flipped through my Johnny's Selected Seeds catalog, which is like Vogue for veggies, and selected an organic large heirloom variety called "Rose (Solanum lycopersicum)." I started the seeds about a month ago and will soon share how I did it and how the plants are doing now.
