Tomato slow growth?

Recommended Posts

Hello I was wondering if it was just me or is anyone else having the same

 

I started them from seed around mid/late march all fine growing up until a few weeks ago they have stayed the same height thickness etc they are about 8 inches tall I am thinking they should be taller than this by now? Im sure they were last year

 

I potted them into big pots start of may and they are moneymakers ?

My tomato plants really flourished last week with the sunshine, it was over 100 in the greenhouse most days with windows and door open.

Up at the walled garden in Hillsborough, a lot of the money makers in the greenhouse, are around 2ft in height.
