lettuce and spinach.\u00a0 I also have planted some of the more important flowers indoors and now it is time for the first fruit of the season.<\/p>\n<p>This is when the season starts to get a little bit busier with many plants growing inside.\u00a0 Once I plant spinach outside I can then grow some more indoors under the lights that were used on my spinach plants.\u00a0 I will probably be planting some more fruits and vegetables under those lights.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I only planted five pots of steakhouse tomatoes and four with cherry tomato seeds.\u00a0 The entire packet of 25 super sauce seeds were planted in 25 containers.\u00a0 I have found that these tomatoes are perfect for just sauce which is what I end up doing with all the extra tomatoes I get.<\/p>\n<p>This is exactly what I did last year and I found it to be a very good idea and that is why I am doing it again.\u00a0 I was actually a day late on planting my tomato seeds, but I am pretty sure one day will not affect the growth of my plants.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ericsorganicgarden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Picture-1-030.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1281\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

other tomatoes as well.\u00a0 I have found that these containers are perfect for tomatoes and they can hold these plants for quite a while which is good because I won&#8217;t be putting them in the
