Tomato maintenance

Yesterday (4/6), James and I thinned the tomato seedlings to one per cell pack. We had planted 3-4 seeds in each one and I was pleased to see that almost every seed had sprouted. Nevertheless, each cell can only support one seedling without being crowded out when the root structure expands so we carefully selected the heartiest looking one from each cell and clipped off the rest with scissors. Afterward, we repotted two of them into larger pots. These were the first two that we had planted two or three days before the rest. All these went back under the grow lights inside until it warms up a bit more.

I mixed up some more liquid fertilizer today (18-18-21) and applied it to the seedlings as well as the basil and oregano I've got under the lights, awaiting repotting.

One of the three Wall-o-Water solar tents that I've had on the planting spots for the tomatos blew over in the wind the other night so I just took it down. I'm only planning on planting two tomato plants anyway. The others, I'll try to pot and give away to good homes.
