Tommy Toe Cherry Tomatoes Update
My cherry tomato plants are going great guns! They are starting to get so big I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't have put 3 in each pot

Cherry Tomatoes
Two weeks ago I moved the majority of my Tommy Toe Cherry Tomatoes into hanging baskets to continue growing and they have put on a LOT of growth in this time.
I also potted out the remaining seedlings into the last two hanging baskets and removed 2 of the previous lot of seedlings and replaced them with the last two that I had grown from seed:

Tomato Plants
This year I decided that I wanted to grow my own tomato plants from seed, I started the seeds way back in August (27th I think?) and, due to the lack of warm temperature in my little greenhouse, it took 23 days before they started showing signs of life.
They are starting to get taller but are still quite small, they are mostly around 3-4cm's which is a fair bit smaller than what I had hoped they would be by now. In Melbourne the guide to planting tomatoes in the ground is to have them in by Cup Day and that is fast approaching.
I made the decision that I need to now put them into bigger containers to help encourage quicker growing. I have now put most of the Tommy Toe cherry tom's into hanging baskets and this week I will put the other tomatoes (roma's and beef steaks) that I seeded in egg containers into the paper pots that I've previously made. The ones already in paper pots I've been adding more soil to in order to make them grow bigger and stronger by having more roots.
With the Tommy Toes I've put 3 in each hanging basket and planted them as deep as I could to encourage stronger plants which is why you can barely see some of them:
