Tomatoes

The feet have started the tomatoes. 4 kinds of have been chosen -Celebrity Hybrid, Scotia (becasue the feet hail from Nova Scotia), Hybrid Early Cascade and Shirley. The first 3 seed packets are from Halifax Seed - we shall see if they are worthy of the foot. The latter is from Suttons Seed - the official seeds of the Queen. We assume that they should be good enough for the foot. Perhaps if they work the foot shall grant them title as official seed supplier of the foot.



















Foot Jr helped out with getting the peat pellets ready. We placed 3-4 seeds in each. Foot Jr is still young but his toe dexterity is that of an armless adult.













The seed packages said that it would take 7-14 days for germination to begin. Clearly they did not take into account the power of the foot. 4 days later and germination had begun. The seeds sensed the presence of the foot and could not help but explode from their seeds.
