Topic: Starting tomato plants

  If they are a bit spindly, Tim, then you could do use Ina's method- perhaps a couple as an experiment? However, as I said, the reasons are really economic, there is no noticeable difference in productivity as long as they are planted before 50% first flower open. Your spacing example is the same as the one I have always seen quoted.

Thanks, John - up a bit early, aren't you?? = Tim

Actually, Tim, I testing the old saying about early to bed, early to rise etc., etc.. I've got the health part taken care of but I'm still waiting for the wealth and wisdom!

Early to rise (or is it to bed?) at 00:54???!!!!

[tim]

- that's about 5.54 his time, Phil? I've usually finished my hoeing by then in the summer!  = Tim

[john_miller]

I'm five hours behind you, Tim, so it would have been 7:54, time to relax.

[tim]

 Of course!! - I read it as your time that was listed. Silly me!`= Tim

Now that you've nailed your colours to the mast (well put in a hyperlink to a picture of them anyway) all becomes clear!!
