Seeds are up, now what?
I planted seeds, first pack has I think 72 'cells'. Well, they were tall and skinny, so I transplanted to pots. They are various types of tomatoes, wv' 63, bush, pineapple, cherry, climbing etc, way too many!! I didn't think they would all come up cause some were old seed.
My question, should I give them some fertilizer of some sort? If they get tall/leggy before I can put them in the ground, should I re-pot again?
If there is anyone here nearby in the Lowcountry, and would want some tomato plants, give me a holler, I have strawberry plants too.

Are you keeping the seedlings under a flourescent light during the day? Lack of light can cause legginess.
Light and any bottom heat, if you are using it, should only be on for a maximum of 16 hours a day so the plants can cool and rest overnight.
I know BBG had a good write up last year about starting seeds indoors.
I also started way too many seedlings last year and gavesome many plants to the community garden and neighbors.

Re: Seeds are up, now what?
The great thing about tomatoes is that the main stem will produce new roots. So they can be buried deeply when transplanted into a new pot. Just pinch off the leaves that you will place in the soil.
I have seen women looking at jewelry ads with a misty eye and one hand resting on the heart, and I only know what they're feeling because that's how I read the seed catalogs in January - Barbara Kingsolver - Animal, Vegetable, Miracle
