I brought along a few packs of tomato seeds as I moved to my new home in the Philippines. Lovely here, hot as hell. Anybody ever tried planting seeds from “up north” in a tropical country? For tomatoes I’m curious as to what to expect.
Loving the season!

Don’t expect big tomatoes at harvest time. 😀 Seems the struggle with heat adjustment restricts the plants from being focus on growing big fruits.

Here is the first batch starting off, one variety already sprouted  😀
Loving the season!
