Gymgirl - Yep, 4 trays that hold eighteen 3" x 3" square inserts each, plus a few plastic cups at the end.

That pic was taken at the second transplant stage, and some of the inserts held two plants. I ended up transplanting tomatoes and tomatillos again into plastic cups with one plant each - they got bigger than I wanted, and I'll plant those two weeks later this year. The pepper plants were just the right size, though.

Here's a "hardening off" picture taken about 2 1/2 weeks after the other photo. I followed what Carolyn said to do in her seed-starting thread in the Tomato Forum and raised some real good seedlings with no problems at all.
