I was quite late getting my toms going as I didn't anticipate the lack of compost availability. I had to start mine off in last years spent compost, and as a result they were a little wee. I also made the fatal mistake of using the compost that top dressed my toms from last year, and now have 90 odd plants with no identifying characteristics to tell one from another. I put 3 seeds in each pot and got 8-10 seedlings out of them.

Not to worry, these got transplanted on Tuesday evening late on, and the OH forgot to open the greenhouse while I was in work yesterday so killed about 50% of the little ones. I had spare but, whether I've got the types and numbers I need is a lottery.

Same old same old, every year is a mystery.

There's nothing better than surprises in the tomato department!

It probably helps if you grow clear variations as I do but, their appearance are quite similar until they start fruiting, and generally I like to give them a greenhouse each. So this year will be somewhat patchy.
