Hi. I thought the following interesting. I germinated the remains of Outdoor Girl toms - old seed 2014- they all germinated. I pricked out half a dozen into the centre of individual clay pots but had about 30 left over. I pricked those out into larger plastic pots but placed the seedling round the edge of the pot touching the side - about 6/7 in each pot.
the difference in growth is extraordinary. The same compost and environmental etc but the plastic pots have 3 times the growth of the clay pots. The clay pots got more water to stop drying out but the seedlings in those not done nearly so well.
I know to put cuttings round edge of pots but next time I have seedlings will try edge of pot again.
PS any one want any outdoor toms!?
