| I looked at your blog and think you need to post what the growing conditions are like. Are you trying to grow indoors? Tomatoes need lots of light if you want a good crop. Do you have a fertilizer? What kind of potting mix are you using? It looks very heavy/dense in the picture, which isn't ideal. You'll need to repot into a bigger container once the plants get bigger. That would be a good time to put it in a lighter soilless potting mix. There are lots of opinions about the best growing medium. I have used the 5:1:1 mix that's discussed a lot here and I like it but this year I used miracle gro potting mix and I think it's fine for me. Sparta is an indeterminate tomato, so you'll want to get a tomato cage to support the plant once it gets big. Good luck to you! |
