Tomato plants
« 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.
Why Google, when you have me?
