Try misting your seedlings so the seed coat is more pliable. Incidentally I mist my seedlings with a weak chamomile tea(cooled of course)to help with dampening off disease. I have so many tomatoes right now they a rotting on the vine.Edselnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775185725543207452.post-60845602598362150942011-05-15T16:00:46.992-07:002011-05-15T16:00:46.992-07:00That's odd, where did you get your seeds?

I got my seeds from seed savers exchange. Hope that you are able to harvest much from what did germinate for you.Pure-N-Simple Gardenhttp://www.purensimplegarden.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775185725543207452.post-28480211228192693982010-10-18T09:33:16.892-07:002010-10-18T09:33:16.892-07:00The U of Minn Master Gardeners are trialling Amish...The U of Minn Master Gardeners are trialling Amish Paste tomatoes this 2010 season, and I received 3 seeds to trial. They all germinated normally, grew to enormous plants with monster fruit for a paste tomato and ripened earlier than many other paste tomatoes in the trial. But it's the flavor that won me over. I will be growing these in the future. Incidentally, a variety named Sausage, available from HPS Seeds, was also very tasty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775185725543207452.post-86221072061457066632010-07-12T23:42:48.520-07:002010-07-12T23:42:48.520-07:00I didn't have this problem with my Amish Paste...I didn't have this problem with my Amish Paste seeds which I started in seedling pots indoors... In fact compared to the Prudens Purple seeds I had, the germination rate was significantly better. I put 3-4 seeds in each cell and every cell had at least 2 seedlings emerge. 6/24 sounds pretty bad. I purchased my seed from westcoast seeds.SixBalloonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07310882196596088575noreply@blogger.com
