Repotting tomatoes

We repotted the tomatoes today. They've been quite happy on the windowsill for about six weeks and were starting to outgrow their pots.

Repotting is pretty simple but a good tip for tomatoes is plant them deep so the soil almost comes up to the first set of leaves – it makes for a good sturdy plant as it encourages them to send out lots more roots.

Tumbling Toms have been our pick for two years running, so we thought it's time for a change – this year we're growing two varieties – 'Gardeners Delight' which is a bit of a classic apparently and also 'Sweet and Neat' – a mini yellow variety.

Hopefully they'll give us a good harvest.
