Hello everyone!
I'm a complete newbie to all things gardening, but thought I would give growing some veg a go when I saw some seeds selling in my local super market.
My first attempt is at growing some 'Chicco Rosso' tomatoes. I'm a little confused because the packet has a diagram which indicates a distance of 60cm between plants. Does that mean per pot are should I divide my plant as it grows.
Like I said I am completely new to this!
I started out by planting the seeds in a small pot and left them on a window sill with lots of light. They began shooting after about 7 days. That was about 4 weeks ago, I've now re-potted into a larger pot and used a multi-purpose compost/fertilizer (for the initial pot I used some earth from the garden!).
The instruction say they do well outside under glass, but I don't have a glass house but I do have a porch with frosted glass that does get lots of light but also get quite warm. I don't know whether to leave in the porch or put it outside?
Finally, does the plant look as if it is doing ok, a couple of the leaves are a little yellow. I don't know if this is normal and if so whether to remove these.
Any other tips would be especially appreciated and welcome.
Thanks,
Rob.
