    I think they would benefit from being potted on. They are really fine plants and deserve a bit of TLC I think.

      That's all mine in the greenhouses now, 8 in converted shed, 11 in the 6x8 which is pushing it a bit. Also repotted the crimson crush which will go outside in a couple of weeks as the weather isn't looking great.

        My seedlings are still in poor shape but after spending a week or so in the kitchen they are beginning to make some - only a little - progress at last! If only we had some warmer days & nights without much wind I'd put them outside again.

                I planted a couple of Honeycomb into their final pots today in the greenhouse.

                  Some of mine have a fungal attack, it has come on really quickly since first noticing it yesterday morning. I'm going to look for a copper spray but it may be too late. Six are affected pictured with a healthy one:

                      That's such a shame JWK, fingers crossed for the healthy one.

                          My toms have perked up after going into the greenhouse and potting on. I think they just don't like being indoors longer than necessary.

                          Very odd fungus there @JWK

                            It's strange you should get a white fungus growth on the stems of your toms, @JWK! you'd best keep the heathly one far away from the others.

                              I dont think I'd even try saving them, I'd burn them, looks like some alien disease from outaspace.

                              :yikes:

                              Where have they been kept John?
