Troglodyte007: If the tomato seeds were from an OP plant/fruit, they may well sprout when the weather gets warm enough. If they were from hybrids, consider them weeds. Here in the PNW, the problem is that the tomato seeds that sprout naturally take so long that they would never produce fruit before frost. I always have volunteer tomatoes from dropped fruit, but by mid-July, they are only about 4" tall. I usually start my tomatoes indoors on a heat mat, under lights, in Feb. or March (March this year). I TRY to put them out about a month ahead of the recommended time. I put them in the ground, put three fist-sized rocks around them to absorb heat during the day so they can release it at night to protect the plants, and cover both the plants and the rocks with 5-gallon water jugs (Sparkletts kind) that have had their bottoms cut out. If it's really going to be cool, I cover the top, but have to remember to remove it in the morning, or the plants may cook.
Dan_McI: Let's just say that I currently have seeds for
Beans, Broccoli, Cabbage, Carrots, Cauliflower, Corn, Cucumbers, Leeks, Lettuce, Onions, Peas, Sweet bell Peppers, Radishes, Spinach, Winter Squash and Zucchini, Tomatoes, Watermelon, some herbs, and some grains. The likelihood of getting them all planted is virtually nil. I'll start with my favorites and then work my way down the list as time and energy allows.
