Just like any dynasty needs a couple of spare heirs, at the ready should something happen to the first-born, I have spare tomato seedlings.
I planted seeds of each variety into multiple plugs. The spares are going to move slowly out into the greenhouse – first into pots, let them grow some roots, then into the greenhouse.
Just to be sure, I’m going to start a few more seeds in plugs … these are the last spare heirs.
