Because you like to grow them!
And, because you like challenges!
They are beauties.

My plants are lush but I think they are too big too soon.View attachment 2120
My tomatoes only lasted in the 18/flat for maybe 2 weeks? It took me 4 days to transplant them allI realized this evening that I have bought very little time by going to 18/flat with those earliest tomatoes. It isn't so much that they are growing like crazy. We have had a good deal of clouds lately - they are stretching.
They are also competing with each other, as they always do. And, there isn't sufficient sunlight. Even when there is, the heat rockets up in a matter of minutes! Weak growth is the result of these conditions. I wish the outdoor air was warmer and I could allow more air to move thru.
I'll need to "checkerboard" the pots, going to 9/tray and begin to place bamboo stakes for support in the pots right away. A few next week, many more, the week following . . . if I was a big-time greenhouse operator, I'd just spray them with B-9, growth regulator.
