I started all my tomato seeds in gallon milk jugs the weekends of January 9th and 16th. I also started 2 kinds of bell peppers by mistake (didn't realize they needed HEAT, so even though I WSed them in the jugs, they stayed inside under my fluorescent lights until plant out).

The tomatoes stayed outside until plantout in March. I potted them up to individual 16 oz. Red Solo cups and put them into one tall and one short Sterilite container. The Seedlings in the taller container were protected from the wind, and grew stouter and beefier than what was on sale at HD and Lowe's! Best seedlings I ever grew. The unprotected seedlings took longer to beef up, but eventually did.

Here's a pic of my seedlings, before they went into the Sterilite containers. I'm sold on WSing my spring veggie seeds from now on. No more inside grow lights for me (except for the bell peppers!)
