Use a scoop the soil with an empty pot in the fiber pots.

Fill the pots to 2/3 with potting soil.

Wet the soil thoroughly with the spray bottle.

Scoop the plants with a teaspoon from the seed tray.

Sift carefully through the soil to loosen the roots without damaging them.

Pick out the strongest plants, throw out the weak ones out.

Jona is a big help, he scoops the soil neatly into all the fiber pots.

Working together all baby plants are repotted in no time at all.

Fill the pots to the rim, press the soil loosly around the plants.

Spray the top layer of soil in the pots thoroughly wet.

Place all pots together in the sunlight in the window.

The biological seeds have to wait a bit, they are not yet big enough.

The biological soil and fiber pots are on standby for them, all ready and waiting!

And look...just one week later and the plants have grown a bit already!

Watch your tomatoes closely en water them each day when you get up and before you go to bed. The soil needs to feel moist all the time.

Now all we have to do is wait for the seedlings to grow bigger&stronger so we can put them outside around the 15th of May. Then we repot them again, in big pots to put them on the balcony or we replant them in the garden.

To be continued!
