My Tomato Plants

I planted 12 tomato seeds way back in February. Six died and I have 6 left. I think most died because I didn't water them enough. I had little hope for my remaining plants a few weeks ago. They looked like they were really weak and I thought it was because I used the wrong type of potting mix. Now they seem to be thriving! I've heard that tomato plants are delicate, so I'm not sure if I'll need to put them in shade when the summer sun really kicks in. That's a nice thing about a container garden, the plants are movable!

I noticed today that aphids were on my tomato plants! I did a google search on how to get rid of them, and a few websites suggested spraying the plants with soapy water. I did, and it knocked off the aphids. I hope they don't come back.
