My Vegetable Seedlings

Here are some pictures of my seedlings from about 2 weeks ago. I need new pictures as my tomatoes have gotten larger but I think they are all growing rather slowly but I will let you all be the judge.

Here they are: (most of them were planted as seeds on 4/17)

Let me know if you see anything wrong with what I am doing. I think that some of my plants are too crowded as I overseeded like I was told to do as I was unsure of germination rate but I had tremendous success from seeds.

I hope to have some new pictures tonight.

Just go through them and thin them out a bit. I'd say 1 to 2 plants per pot. The roots won't be tangled yet so, you should have any troubles plucking them out.

Looks great!

They look good and it won't hurt to thin them out to 1 or 2 of the strongest looking. That will give the others more room to grow.

Yep, you are going to have to do some thinning, but they look very healthy!

I will give it a try. What is the best way to thin the plants? Do I just take my time at separating the root balls?

Thanks
