Potting Up

I was hoping to plant the tomatoes directly from the starter kit cells to the garden, but they started to get too big for the cells and could be competing for sunlight. As such, I decided to pot these plants up.

Tomatoes

Fairly simple process. Fill your pot with a little potting soil and water.  I used a plastic knife and spoon to just scoop the seedling out of the cell. 


Place the seedling and root/mud mass in the center of the pot. Then pour your potting soil around it. Ive read that this is best done with wet soil. I also read that with tomatoes, uou can bury them up to there first leaves as roots can grow from the stems.


Tada

Now water it of course.


Current plant situation.
