Today, I'm thinking about getting the tomato seeds started. As I recall, it was early to mid- January last year when i got started. I wish I had photos to share with you, but my entire living room was filled with starts. I had over 50 tomatoes going by March - along with eggplant, serano peppers, and many other veggies.
One mistake I made last year with the tomatoes was not moving them into gallon buckets while they were growing indoors. As a result, I had the plants in smaller pint-size containers and they got root bound. This caused some initial disease and the plants did not look particularly healthy - although most of them transplanted just fine in April.
So, this year, I won't make that mistake. I'll make sure to transplant my 6" seedlings into much larger gallon containers once they start to form additional leaves.
I'll post some progress pics once I get going!
