Leaf 20 unfurled, Tomato sprouts getting taller

 ~ The 20th leaf is 16 inches long and 8 inches wide. The plant height is 13.15" inches and 9.5" inches circumference.*

 * Remember I measure height from top of corm to top of the pseudostem where the top leaf stalk emerges. If you measure from top of corm(soil level) to the highest leaf Caven measures an honest 2' feet.

2 Beefsteak tomato vine starts from seed

Banana free post, Started a Tomato plant from seed.

 ~ This is a Banana free post, but this new tomato plant will share the light with our Banana tree for the winter so I thought it an appropriate post.  

 ~ We just picked our last tomato from the plant we brought in during the last of the summer season.

 ~ I already germinated a couple Tomato plant sprouts from seed I got from seed savers in a moist paper towel that sat on top of the lights. They are Mortgage Lifter (Halladay's) vine type and are now in a 4" pots. So far only one seed has put out leafs as seen below. We hope to have some late winter tomatoes.

11-17 the second sprout broke soil and is also looking good.

Lost 2 younger leaves today. Leafroll 19 unfurling.

 ~ Had to remove 2 younger leaves today.  I was going to wait til this current leafroll 9 of 19 was was completely rolled out but they were looking pretty bad and I could not take it so it is now it will be leaf 7 of 19 once it is rolled out.

Some photo of Cavendish while I wait for leaf 19 to unroll

 ~ Some photos of Cavendish while I wait for leaf 19 to unroll. Very soon Caven will lose two more of its youth leafs, so this next leafs nomenclature will be designated as leaf 9 of 20.

  ~ Also can be seen in the pictures, one about ripe tomato and another ripening with one last green tomato left on the bush.
