Are my tomatoes growing ?
 

I planted 3 types of tomatoes 30 days ago (San Marzano, Roma & Large Cherry)
I would like to transplant them at the end of this month. My concern is that
they aren't growing, at least not like they should. I've attached a link to
a small picture (http://web.syr.edu/~jhbass/images/tomatoes.jpg). Shouldn't
my plants be at least a little bigger ? Are they big enough to transplant
yet ?

-many thanks
James

For 30 days since you started the seed they look just fine to me! I don't
know where you are located, but do harden them off before planting to that
they become accustomed to the outdoors. I also suggest fertilizing weekly
(and weakly) with fish emulsion while they are still in the pots.

Cheryl,

Thanks for the reply.
I've been leaving them outdoors wheneve the weather is nice, but right now
they are under a grow light. I've been feeding them with a weak compost tea
& neptune's harvest fish & seaweed fertilizer, every so often.

Well they sure look like healthy plants to me for being 30 days old!

and don't forget to thin them out. it looks as if you have more than on in a
cell and they shouldn't be crowded.

Are my tomatoes growing ?
 

Should I pull one out or just nip it at the soil level ?

-thanks

snip it a t soil level. pulling it out could disturb the roots of the other
one too much.
