Det havde jeg ikke ventet / I didn't expect that

Sidste år plantede jeg min amerikanske "slikkepind" med tomatfrø og måtte så vente i 3-4 uger inden der skete noget. I slutningen af marts kom der spirer, og jeg nåede da at få en del dejlige tomater (og op til flere gange med tomatsuppe!) ud af det. 

Jeg gemte frø fra en bøftomat og en almindelig tomat og tørrede dem på et kaffefilter. Sidste uge såede jeg så frøene - for altså hvis det skulle tage så lang tid at få dem til at spire igen, så må man hellere være i god tid! Men de er allerede i fuld gang. MANGE tomatspirer. Det er dejligt, at mit discount-"drivhus" med en plastpose tapet over en halv mælkekarton med muld virker så godt! 

Jeg satser på at der bliver gode, kraftige tomatplanter til når det engang er varmt nok, og at der i øvrigt bliver en del at give til andre. 

Last year, I planted my American "lollipop" with tomato seeds and had to wait for 3-4 weeks before anything happened. By the end of March, there were some sprouts, and I did get to have a lot of nice tomatoes (and tomato soup several times!) from it. 

I saved seeds from a beef tomato and a plain tomato and dried them in a coffee filter. Last week, I planted them - because if it was going to take that long to make them sprout again, you'd better be in time! But already they started. A LOT of sprouts! I love how my discount "green-house" with a plasticbag taped over an empty milk carton with dirt works that great!

I count on nice, big tomato plants once it's warm enough to plant them, and I think there will be enough to share with others.
