Re: Tomato Plants. After they have sprouted what is required?

This is the first year I have even had remote success in sprouting them. The weather has turned cold again, but they are in a homemade greenhouse. They are about an inch tall and they are 2-3 inches apart. Now What?

Re: Tomato Plants. After they have sprouted what is required?
Keep them 'moist' (the soil) and wait until they have 4-6 real leaves (larger than the 'seedling leaves' ... two ... they first have) and then transplant them into small pots or to sit 5-6" apart, then when they are about 4-8" tall, it should be warm enough to plant them outside in pots or into the ground. Good luck, and good eating!
Reply:when they get thier true leaves, ( little while longer), then thin them out. they need room to grow. you can transplant into individual containers. they need lots of light. plant when all danger of frost is gone.
