Tomatoes

Hi again to everyone, and a big thank you to all that have gotten back to me.
Problem = Tomatoes,
Could anyone tell me why my tomatoes are long and spindly, are they any good,or should I start again.

 

Hi Keith, could they not have enough light ? if so, move them in sun daytime.Getting soon too late for indoor resowing Toms if you want them early, but try anyway, but plenty of time for out doors.What variety are they ?

 

Dear Keith,
depends how 'spindley ' they are. They do not sound very promising, but you could try them anyway, but do get a back up from the Nursery, just in case. Bit too late to grow again from seed. Tina .

 

Hi Keith, "etiolated" seedlings usually down to low light levels but Check out the link below re previous discussion of seedlings. + I have heard watering with a chamomile tea is supposed to work wonders - not tried it myself, but will give it a go!

Its down to starting them off early and light levels keith....when re-potting bury the stem up to the first pair of leaves and the stem will throw extra roots out and help them recover, or alternatively buy some better specimens in

 

ah you see no one told me to re-pot upto their first leaves! I'll do that this weekend, bet it makes mine look for more like normal plants :D

 

yup it did too :D

I'll make a note of that for next year
