What am I doing wrong! I sowed my tomatoes about a month ago and they're
tiny Maybe I shouldn't have taken up veggie gardening after all!

Charlie.

What kind of seeds are they [1]? And what kind of compost [2]? Where have
you planted them?

I'm far from expert but I start mine on a South-facing windowsill in a seed
tray, then carefully transplant them into 8" pots, in B&Q multi-purpose
compost, and leave them in the greenhouse, watering regularly. This year, as
I said, I've planted them directly into the soil in the greenhouse because
I'm hoping they'll be less likely to suffer if I'm a bit forgetful with the
hosepipe.

[1] Seeds I bought from Lidl last year did very badly, and the seeds I saved
from a Tesco beef tomato grew extremely well but wouldn't bear fruit. I've
always found www.dobies.co.uk to be very reliable.

[2] I found Asda compost to be completely useless - it looked like bark
chippings and didn't seem to encourage much growth at all.
