The tomatoes are looking pretty good right now in side the house. Some of the tomatoes were planted in seed starting peat trays while other tomatoes were planted in recycled mushroom containers. The foam mushroom container tomatoes are doing much better than the peat trays - and they were even planted a week later. I think part of it is due to more soil for the tomatoes to grow roots in the foam containers. I've noticed a little yellowing of the leaves in a few of the peat tray tomatoes which tells me that the plant isn't getting enough nutrients. The tomatoes need more soil for more roots and could stand to be fertilized.
Maybe this weekend I'll finally start my basil, peppers, and eggplant. I think the basil may do fine in the garden shed since the temperatures are staying decent. Not ideal, but decent. I need to insulate more along the ceiling - but that's a subject for another post!
