The tomatoes are producing nicely, and I continue to pollenate them with the electric toothbrush.  I have some new Ramapo tomato seeds which I put into starter cubes, the brown dirt-colored ones, the name skips me at the moment, but I picked up a 5x10 tray of them and dug out some old seeds I had saved.  I had a 40% success rate on germination with a heated seedling mat, so that's not too bad.  I will take pictures of them this weekend and post them, they're about 3-4 inches high now.  Some were transplanted into my 11-pack ebb and flow system, and some I planted in dirt since I will be moving them outside in 8 weeks or whenever the frost is passed here in NJ.  I plan on getting another greenhouse put in in March/April, so those will be put in there as well.  I have no patience for squirrels and other biting varmints, so Im going to be taking another hard line against them this year.  We will see.
