That takes care of the legginess, as well as giving them excellent root systems. When it's time to go outside, they're in the big, 2.5 gallon pots, and look like the $30 tomatoes you can buy at nurseries. Last year I took them outside too early and lost them to a late freeze. Previously, they never went out until June, and then I'd wrap them in plastic after transplanting. This year they're staying in the house til June, and then transplanting to the greenhouse.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557512606416161272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023803000478958088.post-77079685863771127942012-03-22T10:46:28.145-04:002012-03-22T10:46:28.145-04:00I can taste fresh tomatoes from the garden way dow...I can taste fresh tomatoes from the garden way down here.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023803000478958088.post-19798609370304619732012-03-22T10:31:20.401-04:002012-03-22T10:31:20.401-04:00Brilliant idea with the soda bottles!!
