By now, many tomato plants are getting pretty big– most of the ones in our Garden Center are already over a foot tall. My own seedlings are probably bigger than that. If you want to grow tomatoes this year, it’s not too late. For many, spring is just starting.
For most of us who don’t have a greenhouse or enclosed patio, we have a limited window of opportunity for growing our tomato plants outside. I have a friend, a fellow Park Seed employee, who grows fruits and vegetables year round in a glassed in patio. I guess you would call it a “sun room” or “conservatory” if you wanted to be really fancy. His air-hockey table prevents me from using any of those words– even “patio” might be a little to high-class for this space. But, it is perfect for year-round, homegrown produce. There is nothing quite like a tomato sandwich from a freshly picked tomato in the middle of December.
I guess many people will grow their tomato plants and other goodies inside. You could use grow lights, a greenhouse, or a sun room and grow many of your garden vegetables in containers if you have the space. It allows you to start flower seed, tomato seed, or any vegetable seed any time of the year.
If you are looking to grow some tomato plants, park seed is the perfect place to get them. We also still have plenty of tomato seed, if you want to try to start from seed this late in the year. Maybe you can grow them in your conservatory.

My tomato seedling that I started in December in the biodome is probably around a foot and half tall.
But I think it has Blight!!! :O
I’ll be super sad if my plant dies or if it doesn’t produce tomatos!
Yes thing are moving in the garden now. Tom
