I guess it is fitting that the weekend weather outside was cold, snowy and/or rainy while inside I re-potted tomatoes and eggplants.  The plants seem to have grown a quicker this year compared to last.  Maybe it is because I’m slowly learning how to take better care of them.  Instead of using straight potting soil mix this year I added worm castings to provide some extra food.  For full disclosure I do also have the plants on a synthetic fertilizer program (nothing like added blue water).  I have tried other organic solutions but they all seem to have a strong odour and until this operation moves out of where I live I’ll stick to the synthetic food (I am open to suggestions if people have tried other solutions).

My hope is these plants will not outgrow my lights before I can put them outside.  My guess is it’ll be a stretch (pun intended).  If the weather improves again to the +20′s it was last week I will try to weather the plants outside as I can.
