Today, Feb. 23, I’m transplanting tomatoes from 1.5-inch cells into deep 4-inch pots, and found that the roots are alreading climbing down out of those little cells. The babies are 5 inches long, root tip to leaves, after only 3 weeks in the cells. Wow! And what a tomato fragrance I can smell already. Now, into the compost mix they go, with a shot of fish emulsion (2-4-1), back under the lights and wait for spring. What a heady moment! (I hold the plant with one hand and fill the pot with the other. Elemental, I know. And they all say you must wait for true leaves to appear. Nah, say I.)
