Growing Tomatoes

Germinating Tomato seeds

12 years ago

Hi everyone,

I decided about a week ago that I want to start growing tomatoes. I germinated them the way I learned in school with tissue paper. This was on the 20th of May that I put them to germinate. I started seeing sprouts on the 26th. I am wondering when I should move them into soil. BTW I live in Barbados and it is about 29Ã¯Â¿Â½C during the day and 26Ã¯Â¿Â½C at night. I uploaded a photo of my seeds. Sorry if this question has already been answered but I cannot find it.

They need to be moved into soil immediately upon germination or the rootlet dries out and dies.
