Tomato Sucker Progress?

Pillow Nap

These are the tomato suckers this morning. They are looking sad, as you can see, but they haven’t DIED. They are still green, so I THINK that means they are producing ROOTS, the thing I need in order to transplant them into the garden in another week or so – if they live. I can snip off some of the straggly tops and plant the important part down low in the garden planter and then keep my fingers crossed they grow and thrive.

I haven’t loss everything if this experiment is a bust. I can start again, making some tweaks in my techniques, or I can try to simply plant suckers immediately into the garden when I snip them off the main plants and see if that works. It’s exciting to try something new that MIGHT work!
