Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Liz" <liz@allslash.org>]

I haven't tried onions from seed yet, meant to do that this year and just 
had too much else to deal with. Never had a problem with tomatoes, but I've 
known people who said they couldn't grow tomatoes from seed. I think they 
just didn't make an effort to have the right conditions, as tomatoes will 
definitely get very leggy and weak-stemmed if they don't have sufficient 
light.

I just transplanted 36 very healthy strong-stemmed tomatoes into larger 
pots. They grew so well that they were already root-bound, and it's going to 
be at least another two weeks before they can go in the ground.
