i planted some tomato seedlings, they germinated, i took out the weaker ones and the stronger ones grew - i put them outside on a sunny day and fed them with tomato food - then next morning all but one were basically dead - i feel murderous

[weeeed]

Ah bless! It's called killing with kindness. Don't feed before the flowers are present and don't leave them in the open before the frosts finish. You can still plant more now. Do you have any seeds left?

Ive really struggled with my tomato seedlings..its the first time Ive grown them (tumbling toms) and out of 15 seeds only 2 germinated, so Ive shoved another 8 in today.  They were in an unheated but sunny greenhouse so that didnt help; maybe Ill have more luck this time as the weather forecast looks great (YAY!)
I did pot the two that germinated into the hanging baskets today, and Im hoping they'll romp away now

These may be silly questions, but I assume you brought them back in overnight & diluted the feed?

Tomatoes at this stage do not need feed, but this should not have killed them if mixed according to directions.

Were they single in pots etc.... any other information?

Yes I brought them in at night - and yes the fed was diluted but probably too strong - ONE survived - about two inches tall now - i have put it in a hanging basket with some garden centre bought tumblers - i have sown a lot more plus some peppers and they have all germinated to about one inch now - so fingers crossed

They'll soon catch up.

I make no excuses for pointing you to this post, will hopefully help you grow some sturdy plants!..........

Don't feed until the the first fruit have set, or you're be putting the plants energy into the foiliage.

Welcome back BTW - we've not seen you for 10 months - trust you've been busy on that plot!

were they covered in the house? as I know someone that had them covered when they were 6inch tall and then took the lid off stuck them outside on a sunny day and boom all dead hours later, shrivelled up and curled leaves.
