      Welcome to the vine Liam. I crushed a shop bought tom 3 days ago, dried & sowed the seeds. They are now through.

        Hi Liam, welcome to the Vine and yes, as the others have said, you can still sow tomatoes now.

          But the emerging seedlings will still need a little protection. Cheers, Tony.

            I sowed my tomatoes later than everyone else on my plot last year but they soon caught up

              Is this the appropriate place to ask how many tomato plants per 20cm pot?

              A lot more seeds germinated than I thought (Shirley F1) and I'm hoping they won't fight too much for nutrients if I do two plants per pot instead of one.

                I'd only be putting one in there Choccy.. That's about the size of a flower bucket at a rough guess, if not smaller. Are they very deep?

                A couple of folk here put 1 per flower bucket, or 2 per builders bucket

                  They are not deep as such but just got so many of them. Really didn't expect so many to germinate successfully.

                  I will have to go out & get more pots but I am concerned I won't have enough room in my greenhouse and they are an indoor variety so don't think they will do so well outside.

                  Thanks for the builders bucket idea though )
