I don’t get anything from these people. Just a happy customer. Go to www.hosstools.com and you’ll be glad you did. I have been buying from them for the past couple of years. Their seeds are top quality and stored in proper climate control. They have very high germination rates. I bought their push-pull hoe and that thing is a back saver for sure. I also use their fertilizers and seed trays. Very good stuff. They ship fast too! Only time I ever had a problem was when UPS dropped the ball. It wasn’t the fault of Hoss, they did their part.

It's a snacking pear tomato year for me. The usual Red and Yellow pear, but also an orange pear tomato variety from Ukraine and an Ivory Pear tomato. And some kind of wild tomato from Peru that makes tiny cherry tomatoes. I started them early from seed so they are pretty big already, but been beat up pretty bad and two of them topped from three hail storms now since planting them. Fortunately it's hard to kill pear tomatoes.

Early girl and Better Boy and they are all ready loaded. Planted them back in Feb. in the workshop. Put in the ground after last freeze.
Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

Four plants. I forget the types.

Celebrities and Husky's, and they're staying inside until it quits dropping into the 40's at night! Mid-May; early June? WTF??? You're fine. You're looking for growth and not production now. A couple nights in the 40's won't hurt anything. If you get some blooms pinch them off so they don't go into fruit setting mode. Your 5 day soil temp avg is 68. You're golden. Let them boys eat. It's predicted to go to 36 tonight, and clear skies. I'm giving mine a couple more days in the protection of the barn just to be safe! I don't trust the weather forecasters any more than I trust politicians. . .
