I've transplanted all 75 seedlings from flats into 75 1-gallon containers. They've all been remarkably healthy, even the scrawny ones are getting buff.
But yesterday my "no tomato seedling left behind" campaign came crashing to Earth.
Not certain what did it. Maybe a bird, or possibly a squirrel. But something broke the main stem on one of them.
I buried it in the compost heap and spent yesterday in mourning.
This morning it felt good to once more put on my orange and purple polka-dot ensemble.
