Thanks John,
They are set back about 10 inches from the window due to lack of space. And the light is a small full spectrum. So what I've been doing is turning the box every two weeks. It's the only way I can keep them all reasonably happy. But it's almost outside time for the hardening off here so I figure I'm in good shape. Glad I didn't start them any earlier though lol.

They were last year and I expect to do much better this year. I've been working on their bet to make it healthier. So, they will have just the kind of home they like.

"start them early"!!! That's funny. Reminds me of my first attempt at growing toms last year. The seed packet said start them between Feb and April, so almost 1st of Feb, they were in some compost and settled on my windowsill. All looking good, except I then had to wait until mid April before hardening off and planting them. They were over two foot before they went out!!!! LOL :-)
I'll be more patient this year

those bottom stems, and plant them deeeeeeeep..
And it'll make a better root system and be sturdier for not tipping over....
**Tomatoes root all along the stem, no matter
how deep you plant them**
*****Tammy, your 'maters are looking good...
Can't see the others too well, but the one's on this side look good.

I got a packet of 4 seeds from a friend all it said was cherry tomatoes so I don't know what kind.
Sorry the picture is just of one end. If I try a straight on picture the sun is in the wrong position and I get a black silloutte. I'll try it later in the day and see if I can get the different plants in the planter.

A Cherry tomatoe is a small variety with a range size of a grape to a golf ball. They are sweet and wonderful in salads.

Hi Francine,
That chocolate pepper is just because of the color which I guess is something like a cola color and they are suppose to be sweet bell peppers. I've never grown them before so I'm not absolutely sure.
I promise if you remind me at harvest time so set some of the seeds aside for you. I know I won't remember on my own. Although since this is the third future trade I'm made I'm going to start a list.

I grew a bunch of different colored one's..
It was a tough summer, with heat and no rain..
So, I was a bit neglectful in the watering department, they did alright, but probably would have done alot better with regular waterings...
It is so weird to look at the different colors
of peppers..... we even grew the purple one's..
and it takes a bit of courage to eat...
But they taste good!
