Tomatoe Plant Problems?

Hi There,


I have planted three tomatoe seeds and they have all sprouted but one is 2 -3 inches and the other two are 1 inch each,


I need to know what the next step is as I do not want to damage them, and also what type of chemicals or treatment should I use on them to protect them from bugs/germs/ anything

Tomatoe Plant Problems?
Hi there,





If the tomatoes are in the ground, go ahead and leave them until they get a couple of leaves on each plant and then you could start lightly fertilizing... if they are in seed pots, then wait until they each have 3 to 4 leaves per plant and then you can transplant to the garden. Don't forget to harden them off before moving to the garden... start out with an hour or two outside in the shade and gradually increase the time letting them get just a little sun (like 1/2 hour at first) then after a week of this, go ahead and plant to the garden. I'd avoid spraying them with anything unless you notice issues. If you have any problems, you can always contact you local Master Gardener group - they will have great info for you or go to www.gardenweb.com and go to the forums and choose 'tomatoes' - lots of knowledgable people there, too! Goodluck!
