I ask you a question on facebook about planting germinated tomato seed. You said to plant roots under the soil and stem above, but germinated seeds have no stem

Can you post a picture?

If it's just a seed with a little root sticking out, then you can put them in soil just barely covered. Keep moist and it shouldn't be long for it to pop up.

Sorry...Forgot to you redneek!

After studying you're question a bit more...My thoughts are that you germinated the seeds in some other way than sowing in soil/soil less mix? Like maybe on paper toweling?

If that is the case, I would drop those germinated seeds into small cells, with a seed starting mix. Maybe a 1/4 " depth. Make sure your mix is moistened first.

Hope this helps...though I am still a bit unsure of your question. Can you clarify?

Sorry Dave...cross posted...

I started the seeds on a wet paper towel in a plastic bag. They have now germinated and I need to plant them in soil. I did not want to plant too deep but I know tomato are planted deeper then most seeds.

When we do the paper towel thing, we lay the seeds on the pre-moistened soil and just cover them with enough potting mix so as to cover the seed. Then water thoroughly but gently.

Thanks. I tried to find the answer online but while I could find germinating seed and planting seed, not the two together.

Glad to help!
