Growth spurts
The way things grow at this time of year staggers me. In the greenhouse, the tomatoes looked ridiculous on the 18th of May, when they were dwarfed by the long stakes I had planted them next to.

That is so funny. I did exactly the same thing with my tomatoes and ended up with a tomato jungle and lost a lot of fruit as a result. I am awful at estimating how big plants will get.
I love the sight of tomatoes... The distance is about right.... People are telling good stories of using red stakes or anything red at all, that somehow produce better tomatoes..

Both are growing well though I think the tomatoes have the edge! I plant mine fairly close and depend on the coloured fruit to show themselves through the foliage. Works fine unless I'm growing a green variety.
