RE: This years tomatoes
I have always been able to grow tomatoes in abundance with no problems. I usually plant 6 varities.

Start off indoors from seed in early February and as they get bigger transplant into bigger pots, each time adding some growmore. They grow on my window sills, so get good light and natural warmth from the sun coming through the winder Then plant out late May early June in about 30inch diameter pots to allow deep roots (depending on the weather).

I only grow my toms in pots to avoid soil contamination from foxes, cats, dogs etc After first truss is set then I add tomatorite. I also plant sunflowers in the garden to encourage bees for pollination and marigold which is a natural pest repelant and they grow about 5-6ft tall.

NothernRaider - have a go at this method and see how it goes next year?
