I knew about planting them deep. Down to the first set of leaves. And to snip off the suckers. My plant is doing well, about 3 ft tall now. I have two tomatoes that are ALMOST ready to pick, and several flowers in already. My first tomato only got to about cherry size then stopped. It was very windy a few weeks back and I guess the tomato rubbed on the cage and got a big scar on one side. Stopped growing after that but it's red now. I'm going to pull that one off tomorrow. Sad my first tomato is a dud but the others look good so far.

Not having luck with tomatillos though. Everytime I get a sprout and bring it outside something mows it down. I tried to outsmart them by putting plastic wrap over it, and the extra heat helped the seedling grow up until it got to touching the plastic. Then I opened it up and something ate it again! Wonder if it's too late to try again indoors.

And my chinese long beans started off great indoors. Had 8 of them, the last of my seeds bc the others got ripped up by the wind. Five of them survived the transplant, only one seems to be growing, but very slow. These are supposed to grow really fast.

Eggplant and jalapeno also growing really slow. Not even flowers yet.
