In the Garden

Transplanted Tomato Starts

A tray of seedling tomatoes.My little tray of seedling tomatoes are cramped and it is time to transfer them to larger pots so they can develop strong roots.

So far, they have spent their days hugging the window sill in the garage and straining for true sunlight.

The weather has finally warmed to 50 degrees during the day. Once they are packed into the larger pots, I will move them outside during the days and back inside for the cooler nights.

Tomatoes in 4 inch pots.These plants are very tender and bruise easily. Likewise, heavy rain can break the stems if a hard shower pelts them.

They will get stronger as the outside breeze challenges the slender stems.
