2013 Tomato Growing

I sowed Turkish and Fuerteventura Tom seeds today. Now please, what should I do with these leggy things? Scrap and start again( except for the Red Robins on the right) or pot them up? They are very leggy and there won't be much room left in the pots to grow on if I plant them deep will there??

 

who would do such a thing? You've not upset "The Firm" again ave you?

 

They don't look THAT drawn to me. I plunge up to seed leaves as FC said. My advice would be to get them into better light, straight away, to stop them drawing any more, and keep them in better light after you prick them out.

 

OK- I will do it in the morning ,
thanks Guys,
Jenny

 

Red Robin mini-bush tomatoes grow much better in lower light levels that other varieties that grow spindly, which I why I chose them for growing under lights. The first tomato is now ripe enough for my tea today!

Nice one Scrungee you said you'd get one ripe for Easter

 

If the "firm" being Carol and Bex, then, probably!

 

One tomato left in the fridge, there were more, but left on the bottom shelf, thankyou "Daddy" says Comet and Brutus, the little monsters have learned to raid the fridge once opened.......DARWIN!!!!!!!!

 

15 Weeks and 4 days from sowing (27/12/12) to first ripe tomato.

 

Amazing Scrungee !!

Jenny
what variety is it please?

 

Brilliant you know your tomatoes Scrungee....hoping you don't know your Onions

 

The flavour was not up to 'home grown' standard and the skin was rather thin, but it's something I always wanted to try. If I sow some more end Aug/early Sept then I should have my own toms for Xmas & New Year. (plus set a new record for earliest tomato!)
