2 . The first pic of my very first tomato to grow

3. The plants a while after, bushed-out, and flowery :D

4.The same tomato after it has grown a bit :D

thats really early..

you must have really taken care of them espically when it was cold in the evenings, well done, i didnt germinate my seeds till mid -may, i saw some small fruit on them yesterday, so i am a happy about it, I grew mine in containers and i have to water them every other day if it has been warm the previous days.. what variety were they again ? I have some italian beef tomatoes moneymaker and salad tomatoes.

:D I was ready and raring to grow something, took my time choosing something that was relatively foolproof (and limited myself because I didn't want to neglect a ton of plants) They are called 'minibel' :D
The packet said sow march-may so come first of march I was there :D I started them off in a tiny seedling tray, 12 germinated, I then transplanted them to their final individual pots. I didn't intend to plant them out but they got rather too big (not for the pots, but for my windowsills - I had 12 large pots on them!!) , so I planted them out some time in June I think, and I did have a fruit on one then (the one that is turning red now). Now they are huge:D
