I am glad that I decided to grow micro dwarfs. It is fun for me at a time when I am confined to my apartment most of the day and am often confined to watching TV, where there is nothing interesting except sports broadcasts.
I have seedlings outside the window and I like them very much. I have two varieties bred by Heide and four varieties bred by MORAVOSEEED. I will grow all of them on the north-eastern balcony in 5 l containers.

Next week I will be sowing dwarfs intended for my large garden bed. I have room for 64 pole tomatoes in that bed. So I planned to plant 64 dwarf varieties there. Unfortunately, it won't work, because I only received seeds from three donors, the fourth somehow didn't work out for me. I only have seeds for forty-nine varieties, so I will grow two plants from some of them. Maybe I will plant some bush varieties there too.

I have a quick question @MrBig46. What are the best Czech varieties you've grown? The only variety with which I'm familiar is Stupice. I can probably have some of my relatives in Praha send me some seeds for whatever you can recommend.

Today I sowed 64 dwarf varieties.

@MrBig46 What are you using to divide your cups?

Wow!

Previously, we used plastic safety signs (for example, the direction of the emergency exit, etc.), today they are replaced by stickers. The plastic was relatively thin and can be cut with scissors. I used a few larger ones to make the dividing partitions. It would probably be a good idea to show the process in case someone wants to do something similar.
1.Drawing on plastic.

2. Shearing into strips.

3. Several strips are placed in a vice at once and grooves are cut with a saw.

4. Strips are cut and partitions are folded

A few years ago I tried all available Czech varieties, both OP and hybrids. If I may recommend, the hybrid variety Start F1 is my favorite and tastiest variety. You don't have to ask for seeds in the Czech Republic, Tormato has plenty of them in MMMM. An interesting variety is Zlatava, which is orange, but the inner flesh is pink. It is similar to Jaune Flamée, but it is tastier (sweeter). Of the cherry tomatoes, I like Goldkrone, Rubinka and Datlo.

@MrForest You sure have some great and very useful ideas!

It seems to me that real spring has come to us. It is a little bit cold at night (-1 to -2 °C) and during the day temperatures are above 15 °C. I was not lazy and yesterday I delivered the grown seedlings to the garden (Sophie's Choice, Lyana Rozovaya, Maglia Rosa, Vspyschka, EM Champion, Seven Gnomes, Gold Nugget, Orama, Santiam and Oregon Eleven) and planted them in a cold frame. I also put a non-woven white fabric on the windows to protect the seedlings from direct sunlight and also to prevent the greenhouse from overheating so much. I hope that I will manage to keep these plants in good condition.

I sowed the Dwarfs seeds on March 18. Today, most of them have sprouted and I will have to transplant some varieties.

Vladimir! Good news that you are up and gardening. Wishing you a successful growing season.

Vlad how are GG's and Pa's Pride doing? Are they bringing you happiness?!

473 / 5 000
I have two micro dwarfs PA'S Pride and two GG'S Glory by the north-east window. I think they are doing great. They are in 150 ml pots, today I want to transplant them into larger 500 ml pots. Then I will definitely transplant 1 + 1 into five-liter plastic containers. I don't know what to do with the remaining ones yet. I can either plant them in the garden directly in the flowerbed, or in smaller containers so that they can also fit on my balcony. I need to know what the minimum volume of the container I can use for these dwarfs.
