Hi
Some of my tomato plants (all grown from seed from last years harvest) are
very spindly and don't look at all well compared to one plant in a growbag
in my small lean-to greenhouse which is very healthy with vigorous growth.
Some are flowering already which seems too early to me. See pictures here
for comparison:

The seeds were sown in early March and planted out a couple of weeks ago.
The poorly plants are against a south facing wall in troughs which I have
been using for tomatoes for the last three years or so. I normally just
change the compost in the troughs, but this year I added some manure.
Could the manure be the problem and will the plants recover if I change the
compost? Or did I plant them out too early and the cold weather (I'm in
Bristol) has damaged them? Should I just bin them and start again?
Thanks
