Where are the Sun Gold cherry tomatoes? They are THE BEST and since they tend to split aren't often found in stores.

I think the cherry tomatoes I have are regular red color. I need to be good and stop buying seeds. They don't all fit in the seed box...
It'll depend on how the seeds grow but I'll probably buy started plants from the store, I'll look for a sun gold cherry tomato. Then I can try to save seeds for next year too.

Nothing beats a home grown tomato!

No, it used corn starch. I didn't have tapioca and had already gone to the store twice so I refused to go back again and found a recipe that worked with what I had at home already.

The mystery seeds are sprouting, and I think they are rhubarb. It was either rhubarb or comfrey, and they look like rhubarb seeds if Google images is showing the right pictures. One of the apple seeds is starting too!
No action on the peppers yet, but 14/16 tomato cells now have growth. Going to work on the garden this weekend, along with butchering bunnies, finishing taxes, and getting my car worked on. I need to get my brakes checked and car started to get cleaned up so I can get moving in earnest to get a bigger car.

Got a lot of seeds started this morning, then needed to go back out for more seed supplies. Found a very cute John Deere trike for munchkin on FB marketplace; only $30 and near where we needed to shop. Got it and he's pretty excited about it but his legs aren't quite long enough to work the pedals. He'll grow into it.
Went to Green Acres and they had 4" fruit sleeves at 75% off, so got 2 new fig types and 2 mystery blueberries. Someone had removed the tags, so no clue what type, but at less than $4 each not something I was willing to pass up. Looked for the Sun Gold tomatoes and the seeds were pricey! Especially for only 10 seeds!! So I bought a plant for less than $3, I may be able to root some of it and make more than one plant. If it makes it to fruiting I'll try to save seeds but it says it's a hybrid, so not sure how true they'll end up.

I’ve tried to save seeds from hybrids but they were a disappointment.

I think you have to purchase the hybrid seeds.

You may not need more than one Sungold since they are eating tomatoes, not canning tomatoes. The plant can be very productive and will grow over 6' high.
