Spindley Cherry Tomatoes
Hi I am relatively new to this group and have been reading some of the messages over the last week and wondered if someone could give me some advice.... I am a keen gardener and have managed to grow everything from seed this year to go in our garden. I had some cherry tomatoes plants left over and was going to give them away/sell some, but having left them in the tray, some have gone very tall and spindly - will this effect their future growth and fruit if I leave them a bit longer or re-pot them? I don't want to give away/sell dud plants. Many thanks MK |

In my experience we expect so much of tomatoes that they need to get off to
a flying start and keep going. In the past I've found that leggy plants will never live up to expectations. You won't make any friends by giving them away. Best to consign them to the compost bin and devote all your attention to the stocky ones. Steve |
