WARNING: LOTS of pictures of my seedlings

luigiwu · April 27, 2014

Well, most of these really should be outdoors but I planted too early I guess.
Anyway, this is my first year growing from seed and I have a lot to learn still. So I would appreciate any feedback from anyone that can see issues based on these pictures...
For example, a lot of them are blossoming now. I've just learned the means they are stressed - I need to water the more frequently instead of being so scared of damping off now...
I don't know if some of the seem "leggy" - there certainly seems to be greater spacing between branches on some of them....

Thanks in advance for looking and letting me know what you think!

Nice fashion show! The only thing that looks stressed is you and you aren't even in the photos....

Just pinch off the blossoms and plant deeply when you do get them in the ground.

Wow your plant starts looks great. Longer stems are great in my opinion. Bigger root system when planting!

Great time if you have long stem tomatoes. Put it on its side for a couple of days until the tip start bending towards the sun. Bury the whole stem horizontally.
