I put my tomato seedlings out a week ago (Texas zone 8a), and they (those that aren't eaten by leafcutter ants) have grown 1 1/2" in that time. I'm very happy about it because I have worked very very hard the last two years to improve the soil. Would some of you who have no problems with growing tomatoes please measure your tomatoes, and let me know how much they grow in a week? I would like to know if mine are in the average growth rate.
