It's maybe 2' tall right now, but started blossoming when it was under 12". The tomatoes, all of them, are shorter than they usually are this time of year, but started a growth spurt the past two weeks with warmer weather. <br /><br />********<br />Brenda, I've never used a wall of water. I just grow them under lights until it's safe to set them out (late this year). As I was telling Thomas, this variety began blossoming when it was less than a foot tall and still in its seedling cup. Seeds were started 3/11, transplanted into the garden 5/1.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-66449317080352390482011-06-22T13:20:01.322-07:002011-06-22T13:20:01.322-07:00Your dinner looks wonderful, and yes, I'm jeal...Your dinner looks wonderful, and yes, I'm jealous of your ripe tomato.
