Population update

So today I potted-up 41 pots. Plus there are probably still about 15 or so viable seedlings. Also, some of those pots have 2, 3 or even 4 at least viable seedlings. I'm likely looking at roughly 50 pots with loss to pests and general plant-failure.
At the moment only about 30 are spoken for, so I will likely hvae extras. I am planning a door-to-door tomato sale in my neighbourhood, so I'm sure I'll find home for them all, but if you know of anybody who might want some, give them my e-mail or direct them here, and I'll happily coordinate with them.

Oh yeah, I almost totally forgot. I've also got a limited number of Ancho Chilli plants that finally sprouted (I actually thought the seeds were shot, but patience paid-off). If you might be interested in a spicy little addition to the garden, I can help out.

Further, I haven't planted yet (probably will this weekend), but I'm going to plant a bunch of egg trays with sweet basil, so everybody who gets tomatoes, will also get a pod or two (or three) of basil. Tomatoes and basil love growing with eachother. Like, literally, there have been studies, and tomatoes that are grown with basil in the same bed produce more and bigger fruit. And besides, they taste awesome together.
