Tomatoes Flowering ?

My neighbour 2 doors down has proudly told me today he has flowers on his tomatoes.

 

Mine have been in flower for a week or maybe a bit more - but they were sown mid February

 

I have taken over the conservatory with tomato plants! And I have some flowers on mine too! Just have to make sure the cat doesnt knock them off when she prowls through plants at night!

 

My tomatoes planted in February are in flower.

I planted 4 on the 27th December as an early growing experiment - they have tomatoes on.
They are in the conservatory and the varieties are Red Alert and Sub Arctic Plenty.

 

Yes, I have heating in the conservatory JWK and the tomatoes have loved it.
I thought low light levels so early in the year might have been a problem. That was the reason for choosing Sub Arctic Plenty but in fact the Red Cherry came into fruit first - 28th April.

 

tlc? Terrible Light Conditions? :D

 

Our tommies are doing well and are now about 4 inches tall. They are still in their pots and hopefully this weekend I will get them in to the greenhouse soil.

 

Blimey you lot are early, my tommy plants are only an inch high so far!

 

The plant living in the kitchen window has about 10 small toms on it.
It looks like a palm tree for now, i`ve stripped the stem almost bare taking 15 cuttings from it over the last few weeks :wink:

 

I grow my main tomatoes outside JWK. Even although I am quite far north they do well as I have a sheltered south facing garden. This is some of last years - Red Cherry which did very well. Tigerella was also good. Gardeners Delight were very poor for me.

 

I am really depressed now ,I didn`t think i was so far behind,
