Washing Up
Young seedlings only a few weeks old that are spindly & leggy simply aren't getting enough light - either not intense enough or not for long enough periods or both.
I picked up a couple of Celebrity tomato plants yesterday from the nursery. Celebrities are recommended for this area. The plants are about 8" tall, not including root ball. I put them in the ground this morning.
Then I remembered an article called "Tomato Basics" from my Texas Gardener magazine. The writer said when planting, he laid the plants on their side and turned the ends upward as he covered the root ball and lower stem with soil. He said the plants will form roots all along the buried stem.
Does anyone else plant tomatoes this way? Should I replant?
I can keep them alive. I just cant ever get them started. Does anyone have any sure fire ways to start seed.?
