I took your advice and repotted my tomato plants this weekend. The only problem I have now is finding somewhere to put them all!
I do mine the same way! I love watching transplant videos. I’m doing tomatillos today.
I’ll be hiding in my greenhouse this afternoon and sowing some of mine today. Exciting.
Good video as always!
I grow Shirley,Gardeners Delight and Marmande.
I do grow them in a greenhouse but the last two can be grown outdoors in a warm Summer,but I’ve never had any success outdoors.
Cheers,Dan.
Thank you for the help I needed
which variety do you use? and do grow them in the open or in your tunnel?
Thanks for the tip. mine are at the same stage, i was going to leave them but i think i will do the same, makes perfect sense.
Thanx for sharing another wonderful video with us.
This is a nice little method. I usually just place one or two seeds in a pot and prick out the weak one. That way there is no need to repot, just plant it in the garden when it is ready.
Some of the Tomato seed like the F1 Hybrid varieties can be very expensive so this way you don’t waste seed or money.
Also if you only have a small heated propagator then this is the only way to germinate the seed,as you wouldn’t have enough room for many pots.
Cheers,Dan.
A question, why don’t you just plant 2 seeds in a few large pots and then there is no need to mess around replanting them
Thank you very much for your helpful videos
I have done the same thing, always with great success. Less stress on the plant is always best. Have a good one, Thanks for sharing.
I do this exact same thing!
thanks for reminding me…
Interesting,will give it a try.Thanks.
love how we all use a pencil as a gardening tool
so handy sometimes i may use a teaspoon
Makes great sense!! Thank you for sharing.
Great idea. Might experiment Doing them this way and trying a few later to see what gives the best results.
Have you thought about starting the seedlings in a small cup in about an inch of soil then as the stem comes up adding more soil? Some call it the Praxxus method, an old lady in Missouri thought me pretty much the same thing back in 1985. It works pretty well also. The last few years because of space issues I’ve been using peat pellets to start and am not real happy with the results but I’ve bought a few mini green houses which should give me the space to start my fall garden the old way.
the first year on my allotment i sorted it out this year im starting the growing your vids are great for me please keep them coming at the moment im following every thing you do my tomato plants are the same as yours watching your every move on when to start sowing the seeds and what to sow look forward to more uploads cant wait not to far from you lol south london near kent is where my allotment is bring on the good weather please from me keep them coming
I never thought about that since everything I was told was to wait, but you make a great point about the root ball if you wait for the true leaf’s. Might try that on a few this year.
Thanks
