Did I put my tomatoes out too early. They are weedy and not very healthy looking.

[ripsishere]

I grew some toms and chillis from seed on my kitchen windowsill. Once they'd reached about 8cm in height, I transplanted them into a tray with individual bits about 3cm square.
Since the weather seemed to have cheered up a bit a fortnight ago, I put them outside in the garden still in the tray thing.
Then, on Sunday I put them into big pots with growbag compost in. Now, they seem to be sickening, droopy and weedy looking.
Help [inexperienced]

i'm waiting anxiously for feedback here as i have exactly the same problem......

Have you had any night frosts? It's been quite cold where I am - I haven't planted my toms out yet, though I did risk leaving them out all last night. Could they have got caught in a bit of a cold snap?

Possibly, although no frost I don't think. We are in the NW and the sun only really started yesterday.
Looks like I may need to buy some established plants. I really wanted to grow some this year.
Every other time I have managed from seed to get them to a reasonable size in a healthy condition, we have either moved or gone on holiday.
It is history repeating itself though. We will be moving hence the pots.

You may find that they rally round, though, especially if they've only gone into the grow bags recently - mine often take a while to adapt to being moved from the small pot to huge growbag.

In fact I always go through a phase of thinking they'll die, and they never do. The plants I have now (bought - though I usually grow from seed) are looking pretty sickly on the lower leaves, but from past experience I'm ignoring that!

Sorry, just re-read & I see they're in pots. Shouldn't make a difference, though! What variety are they?

AFAIR, Roma. A sort of plum type. The chillis are just seeds from some fresh ones we had. I'm a little concerned about those TBH. Last year I got a load of really healthy plants that were blind.

Still not looking good, the lower leaves are pale. Should I give up the ghost and source some already grown ones?
