Please tell us more...my seeds haven't even germinated yet! There're in an unheated greenhouse.

Regards,

:)

I haven't even planted my seeds yet . It's too early here, I'll do them the end of the month, peppers the middle of the month. I plant one acre in a veggie garden.

I think one of my girls must have cleared a plate into a large pot in the dining room over christmas because by new year we had 4 tomato plants in there. I've just let them do their own thing in front of the patio doors in the dining room and they're now setting fruit. The tomatoes I intended to grow this year are still sitting in their seed packets.

That looks like a really healthy plant! I never had much luck growing tomatoes indoors. If I bring in plants in pots out of the cold in winter they seem to shrivel and go brown after a week.
I do have one plant which survived the winter in a sheltered spot on my front porch. I took the last of the fruit off it in February, cut it back and now its as large as life with more fruit
