Repotting Tomato Seedlings. 31 March 2025.

 I repotted the taller tomato seedlings.  These are the Roma VF II, that I grew from self-saved seeds.  Heirloom, grow true from saved seeds.  Bush type, determinate growth pattern.   Meaty, good flavor for salsa and tomato sauce,




They were a bit leggy, because I didn't get them from the warming mat to the LEDs immediately.  So I planted them about and inch deeper.  They will grow roots from the sides of the stems, and planting deeper is standard for tomatoes.  They perked up again in a couple of hours.

I re-use the plastic pots.  These have been used about a dozen times so far.  I wash thoroughly to remove all soil, then run through dishwasher to sterilize them.  

I also re-potted the SuperSweet-100 Cherry tomatoes.  They are taller, hybrid, and more vigorous, indeterminate.  Mostly I'm growing dwarf varieties, but these are my favorite cherry tomatoes.
