Oh dear, Baggie - welcome to the vine by the way. Not sure what has gone wrong with your tomatoes - especially if you have chillies in the same location which are fine. Is your greenhouse heated?Last edited by Jeanied; 28-04-2010, 09:48 PM.Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to? -
Hi Baggie welcome. Grow bags are difficult with watering. Did you put some drainage holes in the bottom ? Are the chillies and peppers in them or are they in pots still.S*d the housework I have a lottie to dig

Welcome to the vine Dave, unless your greenhouse is heated I'd say it's been too cold for them. How big were they? if they were only small it could be dew to too much water.Comment

Just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear it. We all keep our fingers crossed that we haven't let something get too wet/cold/dry etc.Comment

Hi and welcome to the Vine Dave.
If your plants were in a greenhouse, how low did the temps drop to?
How high were your plants when you transplanted them and when did you sow them?
As has been mentioned, did you put drain holes in the peat bags?
If you had taken a photo of them in situ dying, then maybe some of us would have a better idea. But at the moment we are all 'clutching at straws'.
But if you get some new seeds in ASAP. I am sure they will catch up.

Hello and welcome to the vine Dave, sorry to hear about your toms

Sorry to hear of your disaster. I suspect they were flooded and chilled. I never use growbags. Spawn of the devil! However, I'll happily dismember one and use the compost in very big pots and grow the toms in there. At this stage, I'd be tempted to buy a few plants from a garden centre - and pot them and bring them indoors at night when it's forecast to be cold at night. Put them in the greenhouse permanently middle to end of May (depending on where you live - earlier for the south, later for the north).
Try again and good luck with it.Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.
