Hey all..i planted 3 VF Roma tomato plants in the greenhouse and im wondering are they a slow growing tomato plant? i know they are semi bush variety..so maybe they dont grow that tall..i have them along side yellow perfection and gardeners delight and these plants are flying up the canes already..in a week they've grown 6" or so! |

Well done Nozebleed. I planted Gardener's Delight from seed and they are about 3 inches tall at this stage and I was happy enough with this until I read your post that yours had grown 6" in a week. Do you have them in the ground or in pots of compost.  _________________ Is ar scáth a chéile a mairimid |

yep...they're planted in the ground..greenhouse is lovely and warm last few days..both yellow perfection and gardeners are growing really quick. i added a hand full of potash when planting..along with plenty of water..they already have 2 truss' developed!!!...the roma variety dont seem to be growing as fast. they have a truss on each plant but the plant is still about 10" tall. i did plant them very deep though..maybe that is not such a good idea. i think i planted them about 4" deeper than the pot mark on the stem. im just impatient!!! |

Sounds great. Did you buy young plants or did you grow from seed. |
