tomato plants
« on: April 14, 2009, 19:28 »
My tomato plants in the greenhouse are growing well but looking a bit pale.  Can anyone tell me if you can feed them when they are this young?  They are about three inches tall or do they just need repotting into a bigger pot?

You don't feed them until the fruit sets, otherwise you will make a lot of leaf. They should be in 3" pots at this stage, what size are yours?

Do you have heating?
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I agree with DD, don't feed them until they have flowers.  Mine were in the conservatory, and their height was about 6 inches high.  I've now put them in the greenhouse, in their final pots (ex-flower pots from Morrisons - 99p for 8).  If you use these, don't forget to cut holes in the bottom for drainage. 8)
