Re: Tomato Thinning


Tom,

I start my tomatoes from seed, in individual cells (4").  I usually plant
2-3 seeds per cell to ensure at least one plant.  If multiple plants grow
in one cell, I just snip (with scissors) the extras plants at their base
when there is one true set of leaves.  This has worked for me.

Rene.
