Questions starting from seed for first time

elight · February 17, 2014

Time for an update on my first seed starting adventures! I planted four varieties in jiffy pellets, three pellets of each variety. Of the 12 pellets, 10 of them germinated.

Based on the weather currently and the long-term forecast for Orlando, I'm ready get these tomatoes outside. Given that they are about 2.5-3" tall, can I plant them straight into their final home (EarthTainers), or is potting up a necessary step?

I should mention that these are all dwarf varieties, in case the height of the seedlings makes a difference.
