Howdy, gardeners! Exciting day, the first tomato of the season! This is particularly heartwarming for me as this is a new home, new garden, new tomato cultivar! This is a Gardener’s Delight, in a felt pot! I’m in Tacoma, Zone 8b. How are your tomato babies doing?
You inspired me to get some tomatoes going so I brought home two starts: beefsteak and jet star. Both indeterminate. One already has a little tomato. Should I pluck it and let the vine grow larger in the dirt first?
Yeah, you should probably pluck it and plant it. It’ll help focus energy to the roots and leaves.
