Here is my flat of tomato seedlings.  I sowed about 15 seeds each of 9 different varieties.  

 

These seedlings are about three weeks old.  I transplanted them into cell packs on Thursday.  We ended up with about 12 strong seedlings of each variety.  And when it’s time to put them into the garden, we will choose the strongest ones.  We still have two months to go til then, so they will live under the grow lights in the basement.  And when the weather is warm enough they can go outside each day for sun and fresh mountain air.  

 

I am reluctant to plant tomatoes into the garden until after the frost date, May 15th.  It would be so sad to work this hard, and then lose the whole crop to an early spring freeze.  So we just wait patiently.

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
