Novice questions re growing tomatoes from seed
The message Jgzkf.35362$Eq5.14503@pd7tw1no
from "**bg**" contains these words: Study shows that there is no area in the Americas that comes close to our Canadian 'west coast marine' climate. In fact, the only area on earth with similar climb is that of (much of) the UK; ergo the enquiry in this newsgroup. Seems reasonable then. Newsgroups have been international and open by design since the internet's inauguration eh. Quite so, but a UK gardening group is seldom the place to place questions or 'help' about other areas of the globe. Your situation might be an exception, so let's re-examine the original question: Planning to start some plants from seeds early next year. Have had success in the past, but find they get a bit leggy indoors during early months. They will, unless you can give them warmth and extra daylight spectrum light, probably even during daylight hours. Wondering if anyone has experience at starting them later, say right outdoors, in containers, from seed. Yes, and you can more-or-less forget it unless you hit a lucky Indian summer. It's best to start them in February (IME) and put them out as early as possible. It may mean putting them under something like a big bell-cloche during some nights though. I'm looking at twinwall polycarbonate or even triwall for making such, and a greenhouse made from triwall is already taking shape in my head, tomatoes aforethought. -- Rusty Separator in search of a sig |
