Planting distance for toms
« on: June 21, 2015, 13:11 »
I've just planted two toms in my GH bed which is 30" wide and they are a foot apart. Is that too close because I can move them a little bit if needed.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

It depends on the habit of the variety really

I plant cordon varieties 15 ins apart, and bush ones 24 ins apart, which seems to give them enough growing space.

\Sorry - forgot to say they are cordons. I could move one so I can get an extra 3" between them. Thanks.

It also depends upon the amount of sunshine that you get in the greenhouse. Mine GH is shaded 4 hours each day so I give them a bit more space (2ft apart) if I was planting in full sun, I'd go down to 12-15 inches.

Yes - it gets full sun all day so I'll leave them as they are just to see if they manage ok.
