      I'm late with mine and I've only just moved them up and into vending machine cups and I now have to get the 2nd greenhouse on the plot erected to provide a home for them in addition to the 22 I will be growing in the back garden in flower buckets and those that I'm going to let go wild on the plot.

      I now have the Monty Python sketch in my head but instead of sperm it's seedling!

      Because
      Every seedling is sacred
      Every seedling is great
      If a seedling is wasted,
      God gets quite irate

      Every seedling is sacred
      Every seedling is great
      If a seedling is wasted,
      God gets quite irate

      Let the heathen spill theirs
      On the dusty ground
      God shall make them pay for
      Each seedling that can't be found
      Every seedling is wanted
      Every seedling …

        You could try potting them individually in 5 inch pots and stopping them one leaf after the first truss has set.That way they can go on the staging/windowsill, don't need support and will put all there energy into an early tomato crop..

          My friend and I, both tomato newbies, sowed too many tomatoes thinking some would fail. Nope! Next year we are planning our tomato sowing together, and the spares go to the other person. Crafty, eh?

          Doesn't help any of us this year though...

            I'd compost them. Send them to me. I've got about 10 spare plants after putting 22 in the greenhouse, they can go in the composter with those.

              This is the last place that will try to talk you out of it. We’re all as bad as each other. I would just like to say I am growing less tomatoes in my gh this year. Only 14 instead of 20. I’ll just not mention the 20 I have outside in the beds.

              After all I had space for 20 leek plants. I found a stand at gardening Scotland that were selling them in packs of 50. I bought them anyway and found the pack had over 90. I couldn’t throw them away obviously. So I managed to give 20 away and have ‘found space’ for 75 even in between my tomatoes. I just hate throwing away plants that have made the effort to germinate and grow.

                You're all awesome, although I'm running screaming from Mr B's spares...

                The Arctic Plenty is going in a bucket and the rest are going in the covered raised bed. There's a good couple of foot of height under the cover, and I'll definitely stop them at the first truss.

                From memory, apart from the AP, there's Super Marmande, Black Russian, Sungold and some random cherry toms.

                Let's do this... ��
