Tomato seeds question.

[rootball]

Hello everyone,

A silly question but I was just wondering is it to late to sow tomato seeds outside now?

Hi Rootbal,

Welcome to the vine !
If you choose the early maturing tomato, it should be still ok to direct sow them now. There should be wide varieties available such as : 42 days, pipo, early girl,new yorker,etc or go for the dwarf one such as: red robin, tiny tim, balconi red/yellow (F1), hamhs gelbe topftomate,etc
You can always buy the small tomato plant from the garden centre too .
Good luck with it !

I would never sow tomatoes direct. Start them off in pots. I have some on the windowsill that I sowed last week - they're 3 inches high already. I'm also going to buy some different plants from eBay for variety.

Thanks for the quick response.

I have some seeds from last year which are Tamina, Gartenperle it says good for hanging baskets on the packet and Garden Delight which I grew last year and were fine but planted the seeds in April.

I will try some in pot on the windowsill to get them started.

Thanks very much for you help
