Thanks for that info and I will try those seeds out but probably next year, I'm out of space this year!
BTW, I'm in S. Oregon

They will be unpotted into two gallon pots when they get to that stage and the Red Beefsteaks will then get put directly into the raised bed outside when weather is right.

I'm growing Teddy Bear & Mammoth Sunflowers and for tomatoes I'm growing Better Bush, Red Beefsteak and Husky Cherry. I would love to grow some Mr. Stripey's but every year I get two or 3 huge tomatoes and then they split open before they are fully ripened. Last year one side ripend while the other side stayed green.

I've decided to try starting my garden this year from seedlings and have a couple questions. The seeds have germinated and they are in a domed & heat mat container. When do I remove the dome and heat mat? Here are a couple pics after 4 days of germination. I forgot to mention, there are sunflowers on the left and three rows of tomatoes on the right.
