This morning, in the few minutes I had before leaving for work, I checked on the little seedlings still going strong on a table in my office.
They look great... very strong. I've even spotted tiny sprouts in the seed sprouting soil that had been barren for so long.
It was time to thin out the tomatoes. Their second set of leaves have been growing for more than a week.
Carefully, I chose the weaker of the two plants and pulled it out of the pods one by one... but instead of tossing them, I transplanted them into the empty pods that had not sprouted anything.
I'm anxious to see if they take.
The advice usually seen is to snip off extra seedlings with small pointed scissors, but I'd be tempted to sneak the little tomato seedlings out and pot them up, too.
How fun to find your garden blog! Did you know that as a garden blogger you're invited to the Garden Bloggers' Spring Fling, which will be held in Austin at the beginning of April? Since Austin has more garden bloggers than any other city, it seemed right for us to host it.
Austin Garden Bloggers Pam of "Digging", MSS of "Zanthan Garden", Bonnie at "Kiss of Sun" and Diana at "Sharing Nature's Garden" have put together a fun weekend, with folks coming in from all over the US.
