How many times.

[bramble]

Just curious. How many times do you pot on your tomato plants from seeds to final pot?
I start off with seeding stage in tiny pots. Then on into small pots, then medium and finally black buckets, which makes four.

Bramble, curiously I have just potted mine on for the third time today. ....
Final time will be into big bags in GH - sometime soon, hopefully ... Then just waiting for sun to shine and temperatures to rise!!!

I've never counted Bramble I just move them up as they grow. so this year I'll have to take notice.

[Thelma Sanders]

I sow them singly in small modules, when the roots show at the bottom they go into 9cm square pots, where they stay til they're planted in their final place...........bed/greenhouse border or supermarket flower buckets.

Works for me

[Jungle Jane]

Same as Thelma just once before their final position,but they spend a lot of time in these little pots so I use a feed.

Ditto here

Sow individually in little newspaper pots which are about 1.5" across. Pot on into 3" pots, then 5" and finally in the tunnel border.

[Martin H]

I sow half a dozen seeds in a small pot, prick them out into individual pots once they've got true leaves, then on into 5 inch pots then into their final pot.

This year they are ready for the 5 inch pots just about now.

[Potstubsdustbins]

Singly into modules, then 3" pots, then 5" pots and finally into BFB. Though there has been the odd year where I have had to go one more to 6" pots as they were getting root bound.

[Snoop Puss]

I sow seeds in a pot or module and they go straight from there into the ground. That said, it's been so cold so far this spring that I have been thinking they need potting on. I'm hoping the night time temps will mean they can go out the end of this coming week, so it hardly seems worth it.

[4390evans]

I have all the seeds in one pot. wait till they get to their 2nd true leaves then pot them on to a 7cm pot then out into the greenhouse when they have out grown that which is around about now.

[Muddy_Boots]

Hmmmmm, well I'm lazy and I admit it. lol

I sow mine in individual newspaper pots and then when their true leaves appear I pot them into CFB's and then that's it, just feed and take off the side shoots until I harvest the toms. Can't be doing with all this musical chairs with pots got too much of a busy life to spend half of it potting into bigger pots my plants all the while.

As an aside my tom seedlings have just appeared in the last 2 days now got 5 Roma plum tom plants.

Ditto. I start one seed per 3" pot, then when they outgrow that they go in pots about 6" diameter and 7" tall, set well down. Then out into the bed mid May.

[cristalfiona]

Mine started in modules and have been potted on once. They'll probably go up one more pot size before hardening off then into MFBs once they're outside permanently

[Ger-annie-um]

I start mine in iffy pots, then 2" pots, 4" pots and BFB's, although this year - if I'd had them, I'd probably used 5" pots too. This is only because I've no blinking room put BFB's in the greenhouse YET!
