Novice questions re growing tomatoes from seed

 

From many floors up (covered balcony facing west, max about 8 hours sun in
summer), on the west coast of Canadar, we are figuring folks in yer climb at
this ng will have some advice 4us...

Planning to start some plants from seeds early next year.  Have had success
in the past, but find they get a bit leggy indoors during early months.

Wondering if anyone has experience at starting them later, say right
outdoors, in containers, from seed.

Cheers

Yes - here, they don't do too well. Certainly this summer, I put out
tomatoes only a little late, and most of the plants were dying off
before I'd had three tomatoes from seven plants.

Where you are, you might be better off though.

Hi Alan,

Study shows that there is no area in the Americas that comes close to our
Canadian 'west coast marine' climate.

In fact, the only area on earth with similar climb is that of (much of) the
UK; ergo the enquiry in this newsgroup.

Newsgroups have been international and open by design since the internet's
inauguration eh.

Cheers

The climate in Vancouver is rather similar to ours in the south west of UK,
I believe.  I have friends living there and when I visited was surprised to
see how much alike our gardens were.  Quite often when they email us, we
find that we're having very  similar weather.  Their big advantage is that
if  they  felt like it, they could just drive up the road a bit and go
skiing!

I have to say that I did not publish my comments about Canada not being the
uk, it was sent in a personal email.
