This is beautiful, well done! When do they move outside? And when did you start the ones on each shelf?
Tomatoes are moving to greenhouse second half of next week - I don't expect temperatures outside to drop much below freezing after that, at least not beyond what an electric heater or two can salvage in an emergency. Peppers will have to wait until temperatures outside don't drop below 5C (40F) even during the night - it's going to be 6, maybe even 8 weeks. 6b zone..
All plants have been started within a couple of days 6-7 weeks ago.
