#gardening Tomatoes started In Toronto, I’ve started the tomatoes for the lights. After sprouting in a flat, I transfer them to the dollar-store 2 inch cells in a pack. I find they get root-bound, and I can hold them for a while at a perfect state, if the outdoor planting is delayed. If you put in deeper soil, they can go spindly, and never recover, especially if you have to trim them.
