Could someone give me some advice please
i have 10 tumbling tom's and 12" hanging baskets, how many should i plant to to a basket 2 ?
Thanks
Gem
I put three to a 12" baskets mate but as you have ten just do one with four in it...
I hang them in my greenhouse and anywhere I have room as the kids love the tiny toms.
Hope that helps....

Ive been advised not to put more than 1 in each basket as they need so much water and feed for each one to get best from them.
Hi GEM, thinking of the size my Tumbling Tom plants grew to last year- 2 max IMO & be prepared to feed well.
Am doing them again as so productive & will have 1 plant per Morrison's flower bucket. J.
Forgot to say I grow Gartenperle....they are a basket tom but they taste better than others I have tried...they grow to a good size plant and I do put three to a basket but each to there own....try two tumbling tom this and then if you think three or maybe only 1 will be better do that.....we all learn for the year before.

I have been told 1 as I said before. However I got a leaflet from Wyevales the other day which said 3. So as I have loads and I mean loads of these toms I have decided to plant 1 in each of the baskets on the back of my house which are 35 inch baskets - have also planted 3 small marigolds in each of these baskets to give a little height and colour to them - I chose the 2 biggest and healthest looking plants. I then have 4 30 inch baskets that I am going to put 2 and 3 plants in. These baskets are more in a sunny position so will need the extra water and food and I just going to see what happens.
I am also suppling friends and family with plants who are all doing different things so we can see what is best lol a little fun as to who gets best results.
This is an upside down tomato bag and in it there are 6 tumbling toms and some Bizzie lizzies in the top and i got pounds and pounds of them.
