Tomato and Brinjal Seedlings

This is my first year into vegetable gardening. I started with some Indian brinjal and tomato seeds in paper cups in second week of April. Look what I found after 10 days...


Ideally each seed should be started in individual cups for easy planting and care. But I am a novice gardener and still learning a lot everyday. Speaking of learning, check this site for resources about how to grow and care for plants. It has separate galleries,forums for all the flowers and plants.

Three weeks later...

A month later...
I have planted them in containers around last week of May. They are all growing successfully.

Tomato plants in containers...
When you are planting, place the tomato seedling deep into the soil, clip-off the lower leaves and leave only the top leaves and branches. This will enable more roots to develope along the stem, speeding growth.

Brinjal plants in individual containers...

The green straws/stems are from methi greens. The stems act like mulch for the plants, saving these little ones from weeds and hot sun. I will update as it grows. Hope you enjoyed them as much as I did.
