WOW they really have come on sice we last saw them.  Definately ready for transplanting. I always put mine in BIG pots when they reach the stage yours are at as I hate disturbing them too much. Once in the large pots they stay there until after they have fruited and died back. Remember to start feeding them when the fruits begin to set. Good luck and keep the piccies coming.

Eileen is right now is the time to put them in a big enough pot to stay in until they die back. If you are looking for a quick and easy food try Miracle Gro.

I don't think you need to double feed your tomato plants. Either the sticks or the miracle grow should do. If you overfeed them they may bolt before they have produced any flowers. Once your plants start to flower it will only be about two weeks before you see your first little tomatoes forming. Are you going to keep them inside or out? If outdoors they'll need a warm, sunny position so that the fruit matures and ripens. Try not to let your plants get too 'leggy' - simply pinch out the growing tips and this wil ensure that the plants bush out. Bushy plants tend to have more fruit. Good luck.

I have grown tomatoes both outdoors and indoors here in Scotland and very rarely get any kind of insct damage affecting the plants. Growing them indoors should ensure that no pests get at them.
