There were a load of spare tomato plants left up at the water trough that anyone could take.
After all the nice ones were taken this is what remained
Tomato Chaos
So I got them back to the lab to see if I could save some of them. They were in a sorry state but it seemed like a shame to just throw them out or let them die of dehydration on a hot concrete slab.
The rehabilitation begins
So I re potted them and put them into intensive care for a few days to see if they will recover.
Re potted
I don’t expect all of them to live but at least they now have a chance.

The allotment is looking good, Aman. You’re in a similar postition to myself wherein I don’t have a great amount of usuable space so have decided to squeeze in as many varities as possible, along with some of th usual suspects. I find you can learn a lot about many new plant types just by growing a few of each. Good luck with the tomatoes! Were they in little peat pots? I used them for quite a few seedlings last year but I found they didn’t break down in the soil like they were supposed to and ended up stunting the growth.

Hi Monster Beetle
Yes they were in the compost pots. I tend to get them wet and then rupture them before planting out. It is great having to work with a small space. I have always loved tiny spaces and working with the limitations.
