Growing Tomatoes

We started growing tomatoes on the 2nd of March. We all brought in a yogurt carton each and then we filled it with compost and put in either : sweet million, Gardeners delight and money maker seeds. We each put in three seeds of our choice then we covered them with more compost and then with clingfilm. We put each carton on the the table to  be in the sun. Today the 9th of March Ben's seed has started to grow. There are a couple of other peoples seeds starting to grow. We hope to have fruit by the end of June.

    A few of the sweet million tomatoes are starting to grow is that just because of the type of seed?

    I think Ben's tomatoes grew faster because it was the nearest to the sun

    Theres a really good website called
    www.thetomatozone.co.uk/
    It has a lot of information on tomatoes, tips on how to grow them and look after them plus some facts about tomatoes.
    To answer someone's comment made earlier;
    I heard it takes about ninety days for fruit to appear on the tomato plant:)

    Maybe if we all tried putting them in the sun together and see if they all grow,then we'll know if it is the sun helping them grow!
