Tomatoes making progress!

Waiting for true leaves and strong roots before transplanting from the "forest" to the first size single cells. 

The tomato seedlings continue to do well.  We have several different plantings and varieties within a planting, so we have seedlings of all sizes.  The initial cell sizes that the seeds are placed in are pretty small so the first stage looks like a forest.  After the plants get their first true leaves that get moved to the medium-size cell and are allowed to get pretty good roots started before being transplanted to the last large cell size.  Once in the last cell size, they have to wait til after the danger of frost has past before they get to move to their home outside and our eventually enjoyment of fresh tomatoes in a variety of heirloom, hybrid and salad varieties.  We have plenty of plants on their way to being great producers.  Hopefully they stay healthy! 

Earlier seedlings now transplanted to the large size cells for growing and strong root building in anticipation of their final spots in the garden and eventual yummy tomatoes for our table!  Salsa, soups, sandwiches, salads, sauces, scrumptious!
