tomato plants

[sunflower96]

hi i planted some tomatoe seeds quite a while ago now as this is the first time i havnt got a clue and i was wondering how long before the tomatoes actually appear someone please put me out my missery
this is a pic of them now if it shows im not sure how to put pics on here.

[sunflower96]

yes the pic worked. now just to solve the tomato problem do you think ive put them too close together?

Hi, when did you sow them?

[matthew2riches]

lol! a lot of tomato plants there.

[matthew2riches]

the carrots look good next to the tomatoes.

they have been planted far to close together and possibly too late. when did you plant them?

[seasprout]

I that size container, one plant would have been fine.

Next year get a grow bag, they take 2 plants nicely.

growing some myself, put them in late august after my others finished. to keep them from the frost have now relocated them to a shed.

I used to use that size pot too, and put one either end. growed everywhere, but obviously trimming the excess away solved that.

sunflower96, I've moved this thread along with 2 others of yours into the 'New Shoots' board, because 'Allotment Finder' is a board for people looking for an allotment, not really a growing advice board. Hope that helps.

Your seed packet *should* give you spacing advice.
Tomatoes need about a foot apart from each other, and nice deep pots, 15" or wider. I personally wouldn't grow them in a shallow trough like that.
