2nd tomato leaves starting!!!

Start feeding with potash liquid food only once the fruits actually begin to appear. Some way off yet. Improve fruiting by cross-pollinating the flowers, either by gently shaking the bushes now and again, or using something like a small soft paintbrush. There's a "Tomatoes" page on here. Reminds me, I haven't even bought my seeds yet. :-))

Nice healthy looking seedling.

Thanks David...this is my first adventure into growing Tomato plants from seed..

my experience has always been to buy a plant hardy and ready to go....then we always, dig a deep hole...put in rotted cow manure or some from a a bag of what is known as farm land which is a combo of pig, chicken, horse and cow manure, dug in well of course...then cover that with garden dirt so the roots don't get to it until it is a bit older, put the plant on top of that and off it goes...produces tons of tomato's if you are in the south of Washington State and if it is in a greenhouse here, it does super...but seedlings are new to me...lol..

I have been sorting out how to pollinate, thanks for that info too! and for the tomato page reminder.. :o)

Thanks Toto..it is so tiny..I am still a bit concerned that it is not thriving at all!..

its looking good Cat....mine are similar....i give mine a little feed before i pot them up...but as David says you dont realy have to start feeding till the fruits start

thanks sandra...I am debating on the potting up now and when is the best time to do it...

i have potted mine on now...i do it when their root reach the bottom of whatever they are planted in...;-)
