Help identifying seedlings
Hi,
I am new to this forum, and after reading some here I realize I started my seedlings a little too late, but I still want to see if they become good enough to plant later. I usually buy plants but wanted to try seeds this year. Anyhow.... My markings on these two tomato seedlings have been lost. I need help to identify them, one is Bif Beef, the other Sweet Pea Currant. If you can help that would be great. Thanks. |

Hey there.
Welcome...this is an addictive hobby and forum. Furthermore, we've got some SERIOUSLY knowledgable contributors that are more than willing to help out. If there was a Major League of home-grown tomato enthusiasts, this would be it. You'll be fine time-wise.....we've got a long growing season in so cal....If you have the space, I would suggest also buying a plant or two from a nursery so you're not waiting until july or so to harvest. As far as your mix-up, the one on the bottom is the currant, top is the big beef. Matt |

Matt,
Thank you so much for helping me out, that makes sense with what kind of tomates they will bear. At what point do I transplant these 3" seedlings in to bigger pots? How much of them do I bury in the dirt when I do that? Is it to early to put them outside for a little to harden them? Thanks. |
