A week after the last starting of seeds, we were ready to transfer some of the bigger seedlings into some pots that would allow their roots to expand. As we researched and got ready, we discovered that when you are transferring tomato seedlings into a bigger pot, you are supposed to bury them up past the first couple sets of leaves. This allows the plants to form a bigger root structure. The leaves you buried will break apart, and the stem will grow roots out from those points. So, even if you buy tomato seedlings from the local greenhouse, you should bury the plant deep enough to cover a couple of sets of leaves.
