The reason for taking them out of the prop house and standing them in
their
pots in dibbed holes was to give them space and *stop* them fighting for
light.



I guess this implies that saying there isn't enough light early in the
season is an over-simplification. It would be better to say that there is
just less light so for each plant to have enough, they need to be planted
further apart. I suppose this applies to a lot of other veg as well?

Yes, as Ray was dictating that to me, it made me wonder if some amateur
growers are keeping their own plants too crowded. That *would* make them
fight for light and become weedy.

PS. I always forget, is a tomato a vegetable or a fruit?

It's a fruit - almost the only one I like. ;-)
