What ticks me off is I do know what to do. And did the wrong thing in a moment of abject dumbass. Tomato seedlings should be left dry on the top with fairly damp roots. It's not hard. I can't imagine what I was thinking.

Roma 2.0 has been transplanted to bigger pots and is doing great, so far. 3.0 just came up today.

The tobacco plants are doing great. I've got more than 50 that are nearly large enough to go outside, and just waiting for the last frost of the season to set them out. I've lost about 2 out of the 54 I started, and those were due to rough handling during the transplant.

That's always a danger with me too. I have such fat, clumsy figures I'm always bumping and bending and bruising and breaking the tender seedlings. I've found if there is any delicate pushing around or handling to do, it can best be done with an ice cream stick and a toothpick.

Well as long as you have some Romas, you are doing pretty good.
