Our last frost date is April 2, so it’s time to plant the tomatoes.

Their roots are pushing out of their newspaper pots, so they couldn’t be more ready for a new home.

But first, I need to harden them off. They have to get used to being outside in the bright sunshine.
I’m putting them outside on the porch for a few hours each day for the next few days.

I’ve also been sloppy about thinning them so they are packed together much too tightly and I have way too many tomato plants for my small garden space. Does anyone want some tomato seedlings?
