You can also plant tomato seedlings much deeper as they will grow roots from the stem. Plant them all the way down to their first true leaves. That’s what I’ve read at least.
San Marzano, best. Well you shouldn’t move them now as the root will be pretty fragile, but if you want starters that are as tall and hearty as a nursery would sell, you’ll just need to start them in a bigger starter next year. It helps them to be more resilient to the initial shock of transplanting, and will make root ball damage less like as it will have more room to develop.
Oh? Should I move them to bigger pots then? They’re san marzano tomatoes!
