  • Hi everyone! 
    Thank you so much for all the advice. 
    I'll let you know how it goes! :)

    Just come back once you have them split up and growing on for another week or so, and we can go from there with the next step  :)
    In the meantime, you could set up an sheltered area outside for them, assuming you live somewhere that they can grow outdoors. The night time temps need to be consistently in good double figs for them to thrive. About 11 or 12 at least  :)

    You'll need supports for them too, once you have them in their final pots.  :)

  • I live in the UK, so the temperature is not guaranteed to always be in double digits, even in the summer, and especially at night. What would be the ideal scenario for tomatoes?
    My husband is great at building stuff, he'll build me anything I need hahaha!

  • PS When you sheltered, do you mean from the wind? (Sorry, English is not my first language and so I like to double-check things :)

    Yes - just sheltered from bad weather in general  :)
    You might need hubby to create a bit of a greenhouse or similar. I can't grow them outside here either, as we don't get consistent enough temps in summer overnight either, so it's not worth it. 
    Even a frame with some plastic sheeting or polycarbonate will be fine. Something to mimic a simple greenhouse, with a door you can open for ventilation and access  :)
