Can I repot tomatoes now?
« on: March 01, 2012, 12:42 »
Hi, I planted tomato seeds about 3 weeks ago. I think they look healthy for all I know, unfortunatley my propogator trays dont have holes in the bottom, so I am watering by spraying. I Believe watering from the bottom up to be best. Is it too early to re-pot my seedlings. I dont want to murder them by spraying them to death :D

Should be OK, plant them as deep as possible, even right up to their leaves.

Don't forget the aluminium foil!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Your broccoli seedlings really don't want to be indoors, unless it's a very cool room, it's way to warm for them.

The need to be somewhere light, cool but frost free.
