luvahydrangea(Albany, NY 5)Updated I don't believe it needs to be above ground, just not too deep as the soil temperatures are cooler the deeper you go. What I usually do, is dig out a shallow trench, and lay the tomato plant on its side to bury as much of the stem...

missingtheobvious(Blue Ridge 7a)Updated I'd water them more often and see what happens. It's either that or the seed-starting mix. I started three trays of seeds -- mostly tomatoes -- each a week or so apart. The first and third were normal and happy, while the plants i...
