Seedling transplanting has begun..

Well, its that time. I determined that the Tomatoes in the 72 cell plug trays would probably appreciate roomier accommodations.

A nice healthy unrestricted root structure. Been feeding with Jacks 20-20-20 at about 200 PPM every other watering. I use a Blue Lab Truncheon Meter to check.

I started mixing my soil in one of these "Odd Job" brand containers I found at the Big Box Store. By pure coincidence a web tray fits over. Im using the 1801 Deep Inserts as recommended by Cole Robbie. I only bought four sheets to test out. I need to go Monday to my wholesaler and buy a case. I do like these. Previously have used, and still have some of the 1801 shallow inserts.

Transplanted 54 Prudens Purple, 6 Kelloggs, and 6 Trip-L-Crop. Also transplanted 24 Oregano and 6 Sage plants. Then sowed Petite Mixed Marigolds, and not shown in this photo but sowed around 150 Carolina Reaper seeds.

The above Tomatoes are for early production. Ill be able to start picking in mid May.
