Transplant Those Tomato Seedlings To Larger Pots Successfully! Part 2 of 3. Tomatoes are the most popular garden crop of all time. They are easy to grow, transplant, and care for. Now that we have our seedlings sprouted, its time to move them on to larger pots to be ready for sale and for transitioning into the spring garden.
In this video, I show you how to get those seedling tomato plugs from your seedling trays and move the baby tomatoes along to larger 4″ standard nursery pots. Its quite easy, goes fast, as is the necessary next step in growing your own tomatoes from seed to harvest, right in your own backyard!
If you live in the Northern Hemisphere however, your growing season is finite, and often too short to properly ripen tomatoes that are directly seeded into the garden. Starter plants are expensive, so you need a plan! The plan is simple, start your own tomato seeds indoors, now during the winter, to get a head start on spring planting!

It's very cool what you are doing. Thank you for sharing!
Nice! Gonna send these vids to the wife! All of a sudden growing our own veggies seems like a smart idea…
Great vid!
Tent pegs are a great tool for getting seedlings out of small pots.
hey jeff i have a question,does the soil matters?do we need to use diffrent type of soil on a specific plant? im thinking about onions here,Thank you !!!
HELP ME PLEASE! I bought a large tomato plant with 3 tomatoes on it. Within a week I thought I killed it, I had it inside near my dryer. Maybe too hot? Maybe too cold. All the leaves dried up. Moved it outside, I'm in East Texas. It's mild forty to eighty degrees lately. The stems are still alive and standing up, the fruit seems to be slightly growing. I plucked off all the dead leaves. I see two very tiny leaves so I'm hopeful it will get better and keep going. It came in large pot with cage attached. I'm pretty sure I over watered it day one. What should I do, is there any hope?
tomatoes also can grow roots from the stem if the roots system are totally damaged. need to place them in shade few days. not a 100% success, more like 50-50.
Warm greetings my friend. I love what you are doing a lot. I am a biotech guy, with training in molecular biology. I just recently, with a couple of buddy's started an agric business. We build greenhouses and grow vegetables. Mostly tomatoes. I'm in love with horticulture really. I like what you do a lot. I've watched and tried a lot of your techniques. Thank you so much. You can check us out, on YouTube ADVANCED BIOPROCESSES or IG @advancedbioprocesses, I'd appreciate comments and criticism from you… (sorry I'm sharing this in the comments section, if I had a way of sending you a personal note message, I would have).. I really wanna learn a lot from you. You've inspired me a whole lot…
Love from NIGERIA.
Hi there, came across your video today, where can I see part 1 of growing tomatoes please.
Can you switch between LED to normal sun when you want or is the tomato, carolina reaper, othere hot peppers, ect.. gone die??
How do you know when to thin the seedlings? What other veggies can you do the multiple seed method with?
What happens if you want to plant cherry tomatoes now
I really enjoyed watching this video. It’s great teaching!
Running out of garden space for any more tomatoes? Think about trying them in pots and containers!: https://youtu.be/aW8S1aiTpNc
Sweet corn also has adventitious roots
I transplanted my corn and I removed it from the soil and I saw some roots coming out from the stems
Must’ve watched this 42 times.
You talk about sowing seeds in the winter, but what month are you planting the seeds, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb or Mar? This is all considered winter where I live in England.
When you transplant to the 4" pots do you keep a constant water level in the tray for the next three weeks?
So do you need to have the true leaves on first before you transplant ,great video
When I transplanted mine, a lot of them died. I think I gave them too much water.
Great video! Thanks!
Wait what?! No way those are 2 weeks old
Great video! Appreciate it. Can you transplant young tomato seedlings straight into the garden instead of moving to a larger pot?
I don't have a large screwdriver so I'm screwed.
i like the video but i need more information on how to take care of them during this time. do you water them twice a day or once? do you add any fertilizer and how often? please
Truly enjoyed this. Thank you
