QUICK TOMATO TIP

I forgot to mention this earlier -but thought I should share something I read the other day...

When you have tomato seedlings all stood together -especially in the yoghurt sized pot stage -the closer they are together the slower they grow!!!
Now I thought it sounded daft -I just thought they would shove each other out of the way -but "just to see" I spread half of my tomatoes further apart and blow me if they didn't grow quicker than the others.. so I quickly spread the others out too!!!

Just thought I would share that tip as when you have loads of seedlings and space is a premium we all squidge in what we can where we can .... "or is that just me?" lol

oohhh and whilst Im here -the tomatoes I planted out this morning have perked up no end -woohoo -still need to tuck fleece around them later ...
