Title: Tomato plants
Post by: brubenzer on June 04, 2021, 04:08:04 pm

I started my non-gmo tomatoes from seed at the beginning of April indoors with a heating pad.  They grew to about 3”.  I replanted them in the earth box about a week ago (zone 5) and they don’t seem to be growing much at all..plus some look kind of wilted.  Any advice?
Thanks!

Initially the tomato 🍅 transplants have to grow a bigger root system. As a result the top growth will seem to just stall out.  Add some water around the plants through the hole in the cover. This will help with the wilting situation.
