potting up

the tomatoes. Can't believe they've grown so much in less than a week! There were so many, looking so healthy I only sacrificed a few to the compost (see bottom right corner).  This is the tray that got mixed, but I figured out how to tell the young plants apart. The 'sweetie 100' cherry tomatoes have smooth-edged emerging leaves (at the proximal end of the stem), whereas on the black cherry tomatoes it's already toothy.

I potted up a bunch of extras to either sell or take to the plant swap:

And kept the eight largest/ nicest looking for myself- you can't see them well though because already under the screen box and I didn't feel like taking them out again (it's kinda wedged snug)

Current plant protection measures- for recovery time from transplant shock and cold nights only- after this they will be spending more time outside. I have plants under the short white benches on top of the long bench, shielded by the wire shelf piece, and on top of the benches more plants covered by the mesh boxes I made. And more still, on the floor under the old animal cage. 

Whom I am protecting them from:

I think it's working well- though I can't fit very many more plants in there (and of course they take up more room since now in individual pots).
