This is the second year i have followed your excellent advice and the results - successful baby tomato plants ready for the garden! Prior to that - one failure after another. The tips regarding light and proper seed starting soil are making all the difference. And the advice to start feeding when the first set of true leaves begin to appear - also great tip! So - here I am to tell you I appreciate you help very, very much. I just realized I have never thanked you properly for this wonderful tutorial.

They give you lessons which you can take away and apply in completely different dimensions and settings. There is always some lesson to be learnt and that heightens your enjoyment and also sense of privilege to be out and learning!
