Seedlings

I transferred my Grosse Lisse tomato and Tommy Toe seedlings to these neat little newspaper seedling pots. Here is a link on how to make them: www.nuganics.com.au/2008/01/18/how-to-make-seedling-pots-from-newspaper/

I did have to put a little bit of sticky tape to keep them together. I did try the origami square ones but found they collapsed a lot easier and these round ones are much simpler and quicker to make I think!

I may have transferred my seedlings too early as I had read on Rhonda's blog "Down to Earth" that she transfers them when they are about 8 - 10cm tall. Oh well, they weren't far off! I planted them quite deep into the newspaper pot, all the way up to the top of the stem. Fingers crossed they will survive...
