I'm feeling behind. If I was to go off to the big box store and buy seedlings; they would be much bigger then what I have. So, what does this mean? I started too late, I didn't fertilize correctly, insufficient light? I'm not sure; probably some of all of the above.
I have learned that I can move seedlings out to mother nature much earlier than I originally thought. It just means that I need to watch the weather forecast and cover up if temps lower than 40 are predicted. Even the plants in ground; covered with a plastic recycled container fared excellently. Oh, and I have a volunteer tomato in the parking pad raised bed that had absolutely no protection. Go figure. Does this mean I should just plant my tomato seed in late fall and let it be to winter over? Mother nature is a much better gardener than myself.
