      No, they are dwarf bush varieties, so they can stay on a windowsill without getting out of hand, until they can go outside. Also have Red Robin, bob-bob-bobbin' along...

            Early sowings getting a few hours of fresh air. I hope Haley's Winbox doesn't get much taller.

              Not sure it was a very good early sowing idea. Still a month at least to stay inside...
              Wiggling between living room and greenhouse. Moved from 6 into 9 cm pots yesterday:

                  When I first stated growing tomatoes I'd only ever heard of moneymaker, there seems to be a never ending amount of new or very old varieties available these days and getting more each year.
                  I just wish I was more of a tomato specialist like all you lot seem to be.

                              It lost its growing tip. Sort of writes itself...
