Here they are looking all crowded together in their little pods. Look at all those cute little leaves! This is a very happy moment, because they finally smell like tomato plants! Yay! They're definitely ready for some direct sunlight, but before I move them I'd like to transplant them into bigger pots.
This isn't a necessary step - I didn't do it last year. I'm hoping to grow them really big though, and maybe even sell a few, so I'm experimenting. I thought that these yogurt containers would be just right, so I poked holes in the bottom with a screwdriver, added a layer of hay, a layer of compost, and a layer of ordinary garden dirt. I put two seedlings in each container. I planted over 60 seedlings, I'm out of containers, and I've still got 2/3 of my tomato plants to go... So I haven't quite figured out where I'm going from here...
They look great, though!
Yeah! Plants!
