Roma Tomato Transplant - Tomato Row Complete

Previously I'd shown the transplanting of the Money Maker tomatoes and of the Better Boy Hybrid tomatoes.  I had the Roma tomatoes in plastic gallon size milk cartons.  This has been my best homemade planter yet.   I especially loved the handles I left on them.   It made it really easy to transport them in and out of the house on cold nights.  The Roma tomatoes were one of the first tomatoes I planted.  These were in the eggshells.  Hence why they are so big in size compared to the others.   You will find these on the left.

  The last one at the end looks a little scrawny.  This was one of the ones that I pulled apart because they were too close together.   So I played with the roots a bit and I imagine it is still somewhat shocked.  In addition to that when I was cutting apart the gallon to pull them out I noticed that it did not have very good drainage as it was holding plenty of water and not letting it run through.  So we'll see how this scrawny plant comes along.   I have more tomato plants I can put out so I'm not too worried about loosing it.   I do hope it will make it though because Roma tomatoes are awesome.
