- Once you've sown your tomato seeds and have little seedlings you are going to need to move them onto bigger pots or modules. Don't worry though it's super simple and easy, even if you have multiple plants growing in the same cell or pot. So let Gardener Scott and I take you through it as we transplant our little tomato seedlings to bigger pots.

F.A.I.L. = First Attempt In Learning
Oh it’s been a long time since I could get away with the newbie thing lol
This one is just down to error 😂😂😂
Thank you for your honesty and for not sugarcoating things. I have already lost some seedlings, but I have learned and I can always resow. I tend to think of "failures" as more compost :D I'm loving this coop.
Wait till you see Liz. It’s amazing how quickly everything has come on
Eli and Kate with gardener Scott, what a great day to start this rainy day here in cold Norway(3 celsius).
And what a great way to separate the seedlings, watch TH-cam and learn something new every day.
But I have to do some bragging, because I have 3 tomatoes already blooming.
It's 2 cuttings from last fall and their Tiny Tim mother plant.
All three have been overwintering in the windowsill without any use of grow lights.
I think I'm gonna have some really early tomatoes this year ❤
Overwintering seems to be a real game changer for cold climate gardening 😎
Oh yeah you will do. Tiny Tim are a really early variety so if they are already going that give you a couple of weeks head start on an already early variety 😍
Aawww Eli and Scott, this was a really cute video! Thank you for the info and the entertainment!
Love the vid! ❤
Sooo wish it would warm up, but not 90s like last week. Holy heck it was hot! So Mother Nature heard my complaint and last Monday gave us 6” of snow-Hoo rah😏. It has since turned rainy and cold. Over a 50 degree change is tuff. Our normal lows were exceeding normal highs last week. We should be about 60 F, but we are getting March weather now.
We have alarm temps going off all the time for the new chicks and greenhouse-it’s a riot😳🤯🤪🤣
I’m happy I at least held back on starting tomatoes and peppers too soon because as I was looking today I was having a reality check of how much space they will need when I pot them up.😮
we still have a bite in the wind, but if you find a sheltered spot, its lovely
Thanks for this collab. Lost most of my tomato seedlings a few weeks ago. Too much water! Resown, more than previously, and are looking good. Was a bit worried I'm now behind, but you've both made me feel much better about things. Thanks again. 👍
Not behind at if you are in a similar situation to me.
I’d say as long as you get them down in April you’ll be ok
Hi Eli, Damping off is always a possibility when using compost during seed starting, no matter how much airing out you give it, whether homemade compost or not. One way is to just use coir/peat+perlite for seed starting, either in a tray you sow 1 variety altogther and prick out almost as soon as they germinate - it's not too soon, I swear, lol. Use one of the cute green pencil-y things you have (my own is yellow!) and prick out as soon as they grerminate. Because at this time, they will have only 1 long taproot, and it's super easy to transplant to a plug tray, OR you can start the seeds in the tray itself to avoid the pricking out process. You can use a tray like the Charles Dowding 60 cell, or something small, so you don't have to waste seed starter, and also because the smaller cells prevent damping off. You can transplant into the bigger cells in about a week or two after germination or so as soon as they sprout a couple of true leaves, which is when you can mix in compost, coz by this time, usually the stems are strong enough that damping off isn't an issue.
Really enjoyed this collaboration. And learned things too. Thanks both!
Glad we've given you a smile this morning Miriam 😊🌻🌷
Thank you Eli , enjoying learning a new hobby
The hot cross bun and tea bit! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Those were lovely hot cross buns too 😂😂😂
Your new plants are looking great!
You should see them now 😁 catching up with you
We likes you we does....That's a whole lot of tomatoes!☺
😂😂😂
Omg! This video was amazing!! Two of my favorites in 1 video!!! Glad I made a cup of tea before I sat down with this one, no hot cross bun though!💖
oh no... a biscuit at least?
Hot cross buns make a big difference. 😄
@@eliandkate Alas, I was biscuitless as well.😞😘
Such a shame damping off got hold of you, but plenty of time to get more in the tray. great collab and I enjoyed it on Scotts channel too
It was an annoyance but better that it happened so early. The greenhouse is bursting with plants again already and I’m watching them grow so fast.
Another fab video, love you and Scott together
glad you are having fun with us Linda - and. no... I'm not bringing the spare plants to to you 😳🤯🤪🤣
I've had such a problem with damping off this year. Lost a few seedlings, so glad I always over seed 😂
Me too… lost so much
Loving the collab with Scott, Eli. Well done!
it's been great fun to do for us too Nneka 😂
Thanks, Nneka. I love it too.
Love these collaborations! Looking forward to seeing your hard efforts grow! X
oh boy... not as much as me!!!
Love these duets.
Me too 😛
I am just starting out, love watching your videos because they are relevant to area wheather , climate etc, a lot of other video sites are fab with ideas, plans etc and then i find they are USA or England where the planning is completely different, anyway enjoyed your videos and im inspired to keep trying although I am working with a polytunnel greenhouse (very small) and a limited budget. Just set things up about 4/5 wks ago so very early days but some amazing results. Potatoes, carrots peas all looking like they are flourishing, radishes and beets starting to sprout, and had raspberries and strawberries already. Things that haven't bloomed so to speak so far are onions and garlic
Hey Maggie
Glad to have you with us 😁
When things bloom or are harvestable is very variable from garden to garden. It will obviously be affected by weather and temperature but also watering and nutrition snd even maturity of the plants. so don’t panic if you’re behind other folk… as you get a few seasons under your belt you’ll get to know YOUR garden and it’s calendar 😍
@eliandkate you are so right, I think the area of the garden I've put the onions and garlic is quite open to the elements , (we lived in Tarbert, Argyll), so I've put a makeshift protective cover over them , so we'll see if that helps x
So fantastic to see you and gardener Scott do a video together! I loved it! I’m not bragging, but here in Florida, I am already enjoying my large harvest of tomatoes! I also had a very large harvest of snow peas already. We start early here in Florida. Keep up the great work! Love your videos!
Glad you have lovely tomatoes Cheryl I can’t wait
So. Sundays and Thursdays then. What an excellent decision! Well done you. 👍
😂😂😂😂 nice try
Hi.Eli & Scot, great video thanks for sharing and take care 😊
You too Christine, take care
I love you and Scott's collaborations. Very entertaining and informative. Keep up the good work! 🥰👍
a wee bit of fun for the end of the week :D
Just put up a section of my old old greenhouse frame over my back patio, and planted up some of my San Marzano tomatoes to grow over the frame. Attempting to create a little garden room, complete with a roof!
Lovely to see we all deal with the same issues! Lost a few pots of seedlings to damping off, and the replacements do catch up quickly!
Looking forward to more updates, thanks for the tea on your tomatoes. 🤗
Oh that’s sounds lovely Brad, will be amazing in summer to sit out there and of course just reach for a snack 😛
Well, looks like its staying interesting. My tomatos did not all germinat this year but there will be planty for me, I had to resow the climing tomato, that I am testing and its doing well now. Loooking forward to the next tomato video, see ya 🖐🌻
I did the same, resided a bunch and they are now really looking great
This is a very interesting video. I watch the two of you on YT and i think you have put together an interesting format to follow. Your input is always excellent i do follow for the most part. Thanks for all you do.
Glad you are enjoying things Ray 😁
Brilliant
Hmmm, I've lost a couple of tomato plants to heat stress (Florida). So, instead of cutting off and composting my volunteers (some of which are rather large, 18+ inches and flowering), I guess they get to rotate into production. Not the recommended succession planting, but....No failures, just different opportunities, right? Love that planter tea cup!
That’s an awesome plan!!!!
Love this collaboration between you two. ❤❤❤❤
😍😍😍😍
Hi Eli, you can now get Quadgrows again (along with some of the other lines from previous supplier), a company called Two Wests & Elliot are supplying, I have a set arriving today, fingers crossed.
yeah I saw, they've bumped the price up too.😬 Supply and demand
and it just arrived
you'll be itching to set it up
@@eliandkate yes but to be fair when compared to any alternatives (which are very few) still competitive.
They seem to be available in a few places online now so may be able to get them cheaper. I’m loving your videos by the way - great for a newbie gardener like me!
Another interesting video thank you.❤
You’re welcome Vanessa
Evening both. This is a brilliant way to show two methods of growing and potting on toms. Thank you.
Ps I love the great fun friendship between you too
It was hard to pin down just the two methods… we both have lots of ways we do things 😂
Thankyou for this video, some informative. 😊💕
😍😍😍
Looks like quadgrows are back!
Back or the company who have bought up the last stock and bumped up the price?
If they are back that would be great….
I am making my own quadgrows as I wanted more and found that they weren't selling them anymore ....except they will be duo grows... I am using low long black wham boxes and I managed to get hold of the quad grow square pots from another garden company ...I also have capillary matting.....all I have to do is drill holes into the box below and another hole to fill it up which will be plugged with a bung ...so excited about making them this weekend 😊...oh and I yes small usb fan on my seedlings to give them good ventilation and it works well!!
you seem to have already posted this under a different account?
I did wonder :D
Fantastic video. Loved the interaction between you and gardener Scott. 👍😀
He’s a great neighbour to have 😂😂😂
@@eliandkate 😂 he's very generous with the tea 🍵 and sweetener 🥃 😂
😂🤪😂🤪😂🤪
😅...love it as always! What a dynamic duo! Great vid, guys...can't wait for the next one! Hmm....I'm feeling a sudden urge for a hot cross bun.....
😂😂 they are all gone now I’m afraid.
You’ll have to bake your own
Just what I needed! Thanks Eli and Scott. Potted on my choumoellier kale seedlings and most did not survive. I did not wait for the true leaves, that is obviously why. So I thought OK, I will just sow some seeds into the little pot s and see what happens. They are outside (I live in South Africa) and I have new seedlings growing. The only thing I will have to do is separate the seedlings when I plant out into my big planter boxes.
that's awesome you got more germinated so quickly
Absolutely loved this! I'm sitting here trying to figure out where to get a tongue depressor! The humour between you two is refreshing, what a breath of fresh air. ❤ I see you've gone beyond guest-relationship, especially now you've put that poor man to work in the kitchen 😂 Absolutely ace! (More like this, please!)
Oh no Scott is a member of the family now.
100%
@@eliandkate Aww! 💗
Lolly sticks work as well, assuming your local pharmacy doesn’t have any tongue depressors.
I’m finding with absolutely every stage of planting it’s too wet I’m using perlite to sow seed now. Compost is holding on to so much water
I’ve got really good nutritious soil in uk I’m lu
Sounds like you have the same bad habits as me in terms of over watering… there are a lot of us
Hi Eli, I've potted my tomato plants on once. They look ok! My disaster was the Petunias I sowed on the same day as you. A lot of damping off......but I'm sowing more today so I hope it doesn't happen again.
we've still to pot on our petunias... that's gonna be a tricky one :D
QUESTION: Efter you've pricked oot and potted oan, whit dae ye dae wi a' the spent compost? Reuse it fir new seeds? Chuck oan yer beds?
Generally it’ll end up out in a bed or container in the garden so long as there haven’t been any problems with that batch of seedlings.
Great video thank you, those quad grows look really good, such a pity they're no longer on sale.
I know Cath
I really do love mine. Hoping the new oasesboxes might offer an alternative
@@eliandkate are they available for general sale yet?
I've found them, made in the UK too, fantastic!
Oh yeah they’ve been going for years, I’d just never used them because I had quadgrows but thought I’d test them out this year and see if they’d be any good for you guys
Remember Cath, I haven’t tried them… they might not be any good
I have all my tomato plants in my greenhouse and bottom water. Do you add extra water to the bottom on hot days so they don’t dry out and the greenhouse stays high humidity?
I check the water levels every day and too up when needed
Fabulous video as always ... my Tomato plants are looking abit sorry for themselves ... they do have their 2nd leaves ... maybe I should bite the bullet & re-pot them & fingers crossed they pick up ....
If they die ....is it too late to plant more ?
On a positive note my 2nd lot ( 1st lot died ) of peppers look very healthy 😊😊😊🌻🌻🌻🌻🌷🌷🌷
I've just sown my outdoor tomatoes last week... if you get them sown and somewhere warm now, they would catch up.... a back up plan??
@In the Garden with Eli and Kate Awww thats great .... thanks for all your support ... maybe next year I won't be as panicky about it all 😊😊😊😊😊😘😘🌻🌻🌻
Greetings,
Fun video...😉 What is the brand name of your tidy tray with the orange accessory shelf? Have you tried sprinkling cinnamon on the top of your new seedlings? To ward off dampening off.
Cheers,
Rachel
Alb. NY
You get them in all different brands Rachel, but from what I’ve seen they are pretty much the same. Mine is from my local garden centre
@@eliandkate
Ty...I am particularly looking for the orange "shelf". Hope you 2 are well?
Cheers
Rachel
Maybe worth having a hint about, I’ve seen them in a few colours, black, green or red like mine
I have many tomato seedlings some that have skyrocketed and others that have grown spindly and not all. Is this something to expect and if so, how many should I bring up for a raised bed of 5ft*2ft*12inches?
How compact or spindly the seedlings are will be affected by factors like how much and how even the light is, if you are using heat mats and even the varieties.
When you plant them out, give them about 18 inches of space between the plants
I have a duo pot but it's never done very well for me-any tips?
I’ve never tried those to be honest.
What’s the concept?
Hey Eli are you still having issues with slugs if so put out some shallow dishes with beer the slugs love the beer (ALE) and they get drunk and can not get out.
We will always have issues with slugs and snails because of the level of moisture around.
It’s our number one pest.
Just one of the things we have to think about
Is it too late to sow tomato seeds here in Scotland?
not if you are quick :D
I usually say as long as you get them going in April you should be ok.
Top tip though, if you can, use heat to germinate those seeds as fast as possible... so a heat mat if you have it or maybe above a radiator in the house etc. AND aim for those varieties with the shorter season, like the 45 day, 60 day types if you can for a bigger harvest.
I sowed loads in the last week of april last year.
None of my tomatoes have germinated at all. I planted 5 varieties (4 seeds of each) on the March full moon. I think it has just been too cold still with me.
Yeah they do need the soil to be proper warm to germinate.
No idea when the full moon was but if it' more than a few weeks you may have to resow.😢
Eli, do you keep your tomato seedlings in your Greenhouse just now, and if so, is it heated?
I’ve grown my tomatoes and peppers out there. I could do this because I left it until the end of March to sow them. But you do need to protect them on the colder days and nights. We are warm most days in the greenhouse but we are still getting cold nights so lots of propagator lids and fleece
@@eliandkate Thanks Eli. Good advice. 👍 I'm running out of space indoors 😬
Ooooooh nooooo!
I’m having the devil’s own job with my Mini bell and my maskotka tomatoes. And don’t even talk to me about cauliflowers!
Things’ll come good for you. I have every faith in you 😎
We were laughing about it tonight… after complaining and worrying… I now have way too many plants
@@eliandkate it’s a danger for all us cabin fever gardeners 😂
Blaaaa, you should see all the celery and onions I have😂🤪🤪🤪. I don’t know what the heck I was thinking 🤔. Seriously, I have 3 flats of celery😂. And maybe that in onions, but I crammed them all in milk jugs and the like. I planted some onions out last week and it snowed 6” so now they are all covered in plastic. I was so hoping to get the rest planted to make room, but this fickle weather is a bit hard to deal with.
I filled the bed with onions yesterday… and I have 100 more
@@eliandkate I thought it was a great video. Gardener Scott is such a good sport isn’t he. I loved the bit at the end 😂 I like his channel
He is such a good sport and has a wicked sense of humour
I love you guys but I’m a real hater of separating and repotting my tomatoes. I think it’s unnecessary and risky for damage. I start my seeds in the bottom third of a solo cup (with drainage holes cut in). As they grow I add more soil. By the time it’s warm enough they are big and strong and healthy 💚🌱
Each to their own Debby
That’s the awesome thing about our community… we don’t judge you just cause you’re weird 😂😂😂😂
