Hi all. Im looking for a bit of advice. Ive planted 5 tomatoe plants in a small area in the ground (roughly the size of a growbag) not thinking they would all grow. Should i rip a few of them out? What impact will it have if i grow all 5 plants? So far they are all growing well and healthy.
Thanks

Too close together they will be liable to moulds and rots. The size of a growbag should only support two plants. Cut the others out to give the two left more space to grow. I would not pull them out, the roots are probably intertangled.
