@baymule Thank you. If I remember correctly the Black Brandywine should be potato leaf, I think they were a Pink Brandywine / Black Krim cross and they would have got the potato leaf from the Pink Brandywine.

A few Rhododendron cuttings I took off a 80 year old Rhododendron. The young tomatoes true leaves are coming in fast.

@Nyboy What year is your F-150 about a 2000 with the 4.6 Triton in it? I have a "05" F-150 4x4 with the 4.6 Triton in it and I love it, real work horse.

@ninnymary, They did grow fast and I'm suppressed just how fast they did grow. The tomatoes that are still in flats are growing fast also, there about a week or so out of the ground, about a 1-1/2" tall and getting there true leaves in nicely. - Chris

Thanks @Ridgerunner. It works great, real easy to clean. When I'm done all I have to do is wipe it down and role it up and store it. - Chris

No that's a craft cutting mat. Its 24"x36" and the best things that I found to put on my planting bench for planting seeds and transplanting. My GF had one for crafts that she did and I got the idea to get one for the planting bench. - Chris

These little guys are lookin better since I added the new set of lights.

Did some transplanting today and I do think that these little 4 week old tomatoes were do. ;)

Thanks Steve. I don't know about having a more critical eye. Maybe I'm just use to seeing the tomatoes that I grow in the greenhouse. We'll see what happens now that I added the second lights and I have a fan on each level also. The added lights and extra air movement should strengthen up the...

Another Update -- I decided to add a set of lights to the lower shelf, in doing so I can add the water trays under the flats and spread them out so that there is more air circulation.

I wrapped that material on 3 sides and then added flat white poster board on the front but the poster board isn't reflecting enough light. I may pick up another roll of that material and cover the poster board today and see what that does.

Update on the tomatoes that are in the growing chamber. These seedling are 4 days out of the ground and 9 days since I planted the seeds. The young seedling are doing well, growing fast but I need to get another set of light in there. You can see that there starting to bend to the light, and...

Slime's a tire sealant that you can get it at about any auto parts stores, farm store, Walmart, etc. Here's a video that was done on a truck tire.

I tried that once, the spray foam didn't last but about two year. I run Slime in my tires, tractors, tiller, truck it don't matter and never have a tire go flat.

What type of hay feeder are you using? I use these hay feeders from Bass and they cut hay waste back a lot for me. Type of hay will sometimes make a difference, I always used a mixed hay that consisted of Alfalfa, Timothy and a little Mammoth Red Clover and was the same hay mix that I feed to my...
