Allotments 4 All

Here is a flower spike on the tumbler tomato this morning. I could not believe my eyes

Amazing!! .......When did you sow the seeds?

Duke

I sowed all the tomato seed on 6th Feb. Inside on the widowsill and then into the cold GH in a mini GH laid on its back with the zips on top.

Don't they get a bit leggy when you sow them as early as that? Or do you use a light to lengthen the day artificially?

Blimey Shirl I'm about 5 weeks behind you, healthy looking plant, you'll be eating them by May at this rate.   :o

I was half expecting to see a pic of Cilla Black  ::)

I'll get me coat ...................................

They are not leggy at all and if they were they would be going down deeper in their final pots. I do use a foil back drop with all my windowsill propagators and this stops them reaching. They go outside when they are between one and two inches.

WOW,  :o only planted my seeds lastweekend 8) the sun was out so thats the only reason I did it then. They are very strong looking plants some one was blessed with green fingers ;)

Hi Mentor. I just don't believe it

Well last year I tried sowing them on 2nd Feb and they were great. This year I was a few days late..Tomatoes seem to be quite hardy cos we had one seedling growing  in the sand at the side of the cold GH last April
BTW Its nice to see another member from Court Lane R.A.R. Welcome to the nut house

Welcome to A4A R.A.R....  :)

Tony and mysef gave him the name Right Angle Ranch cos that is what his plot is like.
He's only had it for just over a year and it's a credit to him and his wife.I am sure that the bloody faries come in at night and do a bit of dusting for him. Of course only right angles are allowed .I will ask him if I can take a photo when I go today   

  I sowed early last year and then kept one or two inside and had tomatoes for the end of may!
Did the same this year and mine look like yours, so hoping it works again.

Here is the pic of a piece of Right Angle Ranch's plot

He sounds like a real square!!  ;D  ;D  ;D

nice plot pic, thought i recognised it.

julie ;D

Curves allowed though! ;)
Is that the ubiquitous Wilko arch? ;)

Our site is a showcase for Wilkies arches they are everywhere. ;D
