After they got too big to be kept in the the yoghurt pots we transplanted them into 4 and a half inch pots. Some people's needed to be put into bigger pots than that. They have put theirs into 8 inch diameter pots. Most people have done that now. We have recently found out that our tomatoes might grow a couple of feet tall.
We have started giving our plants tomato food. Since then they have been growing well. Unfortunately one of them has died. The leaves have started to flatten out as they were curling up. They were curling up because they got too much water and they were too cold. We used to leave them in the tray full of water, but we found out that was not good for them, so we took off the tray and let the water drain off. We brought them in one weekend and that solved a lot of their problems too as they were warm. They also have not needed water in a while. Our plants used to have transparent dots on the leaves and white ones too, but now most of them have cleared up.
Kindly, Mr. Creaner gave us his tomato plant to mind that he bought in the shop. He has some tomatoes growing on his plant. Evan picked one off and ate the tomato. Some of our tomato plants have started to grow tomatoes, but they are not quite ripe or visible yet. We hope to have some before we leave school so we can eat them. We will be experimenting on some of the tomatoes.
Have a look at some of our tomato photos:
Here we are with our tomatoes.
