Title: Is it too late to sow tomato seeds, please?
Post by: Paulines7 on March 24, 2012, 11:06:34
Having been up to Bath every day for the past seven weeks, I am so behind with everything in the garden. 

I am not going to bother with peppers and aubergines as I am lucky if I get one small fruit off them.  I think cues should be all right though and will get them started off this afternoon. 

I need to get my potatoes and onions in too.  Fortunately the family are coming up for the weekend so I hope I will have some help.

Could someone tell me please if I am too late to sow tomato seeds or should I just buy them as plants?  I grow all my tomatoes outdoors.

I don't start sowing my outside ones until now through mid April for planting out late May/early June.  Not that I usually have much luck with them so invariably end up buying some plants!

Defiantly not too late if you grow outdoors.

It's not to late to sow or plant any of the above, but I would get a move on and get all five mentioned sowed or planted in the next week or SOW.   ;D
