What are you doing with early grown tomato plants?
I started my tom seeds off 15th February they are going like mad,this is the
first year I am growing fruit & veg.At the rate they are growing they will need staking soon!They are about 16 inches tall they are in a heated greenhouse though, 60 f min.They will be moved to there final positions into a unheated greenhouse,do you wait until the last frost,say 1 st week in June my bedding goes out or earlier in the unheated greenhouse as the frost shouldn't be too severe? I have learnt not to start them off as early next time!I should get an early crop though. -- Thanks Keith,England,UK. |

Frost would be a bummer. But can you cut the temperature way back?
(cut back in stages a few degrees each day. I think there are potentailly three problems with growing cooler (above freezing of course) - 1.inciting some mildew, 2. blossom pollination may fail (everybody knows hot tomatos like hot sex) ), 3. takes longer for the fruit to ripen.
