I moved my seedlings to bigger pots this week.  I ended up having about 50 extra tomato seedlings and a few hot pepper seedlings that I gave away to friends and family.  

I purchased some compost for my garden.  This year, I'm using Oakdell compost.  I  didn't add anything last year, and the two years before that, I was unhappy with the other company we purchased compost from.  One year, it had a ton of weed seeds in it, then the next year it didn't seem like compost at all because it looked like sand.   

So now, I'm just waiting for it to stop raining and to dry out enough to get this all tilled in.  Then I want to get my plants in the ground in a few weeks.  Where I live (zone 5), the last day of frost is considered to be Mother's day.  Sometimes my plants go in before that, sometimes after...depending on weather.  This year doesn't look like it will be an early planting year.   The night temperatures are still in the 30's.  But I'm so excited to start.  I'm wondering if I should try the wall-o-water...but then I roll my eyes at what that would cost me for as much as I grow. Probably not cost effective, for the first year or two (maybe even 3).  

Prior to moving the seedlings to bigger pots, I used a 4-12-4 Miracle-Gro seedling fertilizer, diluted by half.  They looked good and were not as 'leggy' as they get without this fertilizer.  Just remember, seedlings don't need as much nitrogen.  They need phosphorous, which should be at least double the number  of nitrogen. I will say here too, that 'leggy' tomato plants are okay as far as I'm concerned.  They do just fine once they've been moved into the garden. They settle in, fill out, and live up to their potential.
