Help with tomatoes

Recommended Posts

I planted some tomato seeds about 6 weeks ago, I've kept them indoors under a propagator lid (unheated).

The seedlings are still only about an inch high and don't seem to be getting any bigger :(

 

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Should I just start again?

Just buy some tins. You can get 4 for a quid at most supermarkets.

If they look healthy, then I'm sure you"ve nothing to worry about.

What colour are they? If they've got purple leaves, they are probably too cold. If they are yellowy, they might be struggling for light.

 

I have plenty of spare plants, I think I've just sent you a PM about them, but it hasn't saved at my end so maybe I'm an idiot.

I bought some plants from B and Q several weeks ago and they seem to be growing well in my greenhouse, that might be an option? I'm sure there are better places to buy from as well like a proper garden centre!

They had a variety of different types for sale at Hagg Hill allotments last week when I went looking for a beefsteak tomato. Look on the website for opening times. Failing that Asda were doing hanging baskets with them in, I am guessing they were tumbler or some similar variety.
