my tomatoes are in 3"pots-they are about 9"tall-ish-their last resting place will be in the conservatory in florists flower buckets-when can they go in these?

Hi Kitty,
 :D
Your conservatory is just like a greenhouse. Is there any heating in there? Which way does it face? This will affect the warm up rate.

 :D Cor lot bigger than mine. I am all behind as my greenhouse did not go up till late march. Moved house and no greenhouse!!

You could put them into a slightly larger pot. When you do plant them deeper, toms grow new roots from the stem, so if they are a bit leggy this is an instant cure. Plus you get more roots to feed your plant. Or you could put them into flower buckets now. But if they are not in their final site, then you will have to move them. How strong are you??
