    :dh: I seem to have mixed up a few of my tomato plants. I plantedthe "hundreds & thousands" variety and also some standard sized tomatoes. Dog knocked some over and the labels fell out. I can't tell which is which. I guess I just have to wait and see?! The plants look the same to me really...

    Well, they all look the same 'cause they're toms:D. I'm sure Kristen will be able to help you out:). As a rule of thumb, if they start throwing out side shoots when they're little ( about 9") they're "Tumblers". If you have one single stem that is strongly growing and starts throwing out sideshoots when it's about 1' foot high it's a standard. But I'm quite happy for Kristen to beat me up about that:)

    :hehe: hmm yes that'd be right! I guess I just wanted an easy answer which I knew couldn't happen! I'll examine them in the morning to see if I can work it out by what you say then. Many thanks :gnthb:

    You should start to notice a difference soon, the hundreds & thousands variety will look much more squat compared to the normal cordon types.
