what might i have done wrong?? i planted some seed for my toms, they germinated and grew but they have all died. i dont think i have over watered them and they are not outside yet.

help

thanks everyone!

is it ok to use compost that i used last year?? it has some roots from veg grown in it last year. could i put some feed or chicken poop in it to get it going ( i have some chiiks so i have lots of chicken poop available)

Hello dispic1 from somebody else in Beeston

hello! beeston could be the next kew!!

i am quite new to this growing veg thingy and i would like to grow some veg in pots on my patio to start with. last year i grew some tomatoes and spuds with great success and now i am read for something else. i am going to have a go at dwarf beans and peas, both on a wigwam bamboo structure. onions,...

can i use cling film stretched over the top of my trays??

or is this just a really daft question.

other suggestions would be great.

i bought some red onions to plant, when can i plant them??

outside, but i can grow the seeds to seedling indoors.

what is the best time plant tomatos?

either growing from seed or from a ready grown plant??

thanks
