Is this common?
Hi, I have planted my tomato seeds, they have germinated. This is the first time doing this from seed. O'K, I planted maybe 10 in each pot, they are growing only a few here and there have died, don't know why, out of no where one will die. Just want one to make it thru tell spring planting.

How damp is your soil? Baby tomatoes don't like to have their feet soaking wet and die pretty quickly.

Oh, I thought tomatoes like wet soil, that might be something I could stop doing, I have been keeping them wet

Too wet, not good- also make sure you're using a soilless potting mix, not potting soil or garden soil.
