My wife and I are starting a garden for the first time this year. We originally were just planning to do transplants for everything, but a family member gifted us some of her favorite seeds and we’ve had some luck germinating them! Work is busy so we are not babysitting them as much as we should, but excited to see what makes it.

      Valid! We also should not have let the tomatoes get so leggy, but we’re doing what we can with what we got :)

        The good news for tomatoes at least is that you can bury them deep when you transplant!

          I was wondering if we should - is there such a thing as too deep as long as the leaves are exposed?

            I don’t know that there’s really such a thing as too deep, but I’ve personally never put more than half of the seedling’s stem below the ground when I transplant them.
