Tonight, I transplanted all four of the tomatoes – the Red Zebra in the garden, and the rest (black cherry, blanche beaute, McMullen) in a large planter box on the back patio where it’s the sunniest. 

Here’s the status of all the plants:

• black cherry tomato – only 2 inches tall, the smallest of all the tomato seedlings
• blanche beaute tomato – 4 inches tall, transplanted into a large planter box
• McMullen tomato – 6 inches tall, transplanted into a large planter box
• sweet basil – 2 inches tall, still too small to transplant
• carrot – many have sprouted from the ground
• parsnip – still no signs of sprouts
• pea – six have sprouted
• golden midget watermelon – all died  🙁
