new to tomatoes, advice apreciated

Smiffy
Thanks for the lovely coments, but this is not a joke, that photo is of my very first tomato plant grown from seed. Infact it is my very first Tomato Plant ever or not as the case my be.
Glad I amused you, if it's not a Tom what is it? and where did it come from?
Martin :o

 

Martin - dont't take it to heart. I am not laughing at you - I'm laughing with you. Look i am a newbie gardener , when i first moved into this house I tended and cared for a weed in my garden for 2 months !! Believe me everyone on this forum will help 100%, and I am sure they can identify your triffid :D

cheers

Thanks for your support, well I guess if my pride and joy doesn't produce anything I can eat, michelle & I could always try smoking it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Martin :D

 

Martin - and it will be worth a lot more per Kilo than toms !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks for all your help people ( specially Pete cos he's the man ) :thumb:
Yes it's a weed but not (marijuani Smiffy:D) it looks like it's Fat Hen

Name: Fat-hen
( goosefoot, lambâ??s quarters, meld-weed, muckweed )

Latin name: Chenopodium album L.


And now it's a DEAD FAT HEN ( Wonder if I could Roast it):rolleyes:

 

Oh dear, Martin, I am glad I posted that as tactfully as I could. I was keen not to curb your enthusiasm for your first tomato plant. Perhaps it was just as well it turned out to be a weed. Better that, than you had not only taken the shoots off a tomato plant but in your enthusiasm taken the trusses off as well. Hopefully you are now all clued on what a tomato plant looks like and what to do. I am glad my comments brought a smile or two. I think we have all nurtured a weed sometime or other thinking it looked so healthy it must be a plant of some worth only to find out otherwise. Even the lowliest weed is loved by its mother!:D

 

Just caught up on this thread.... worn out from a camping trip but it's still made me laugh! :D
MandM, As moyra said you're definately not the only one....I tended to a creeping buttercup for a few weeks last Summer, thinking it was something or other else I had planted!:eek:

Dave W & moyra, our tom's won't fit in the garden, I've just rearranged things so it's in the sunniest spot, but next available gardening oportunity I will follow your advice and try again to divide the two and repot, or rather, I will instruct Mr Mac to, thanks again for the further advice, you've been extremely helpful :thumb:

Looking forward to BLT butties :D Keep you posted...
