Default Tumbling Toms

After a disaster germinating these seeds I have got then to grow .
Now I need some advice . How do I separate them and how many should I plant in 12" hanging baskets?

True to their word Sutton's sent me new seeds to replace the ones that did not germinate and they are fine.
TIP.
Don't use peat pots for this variety they don't like them.

Hi Smeagal, it's just one tomato plant per hanging basket - you can expect to harvest over 200 tomatoes from one plant!!

Hi Smeagal, I would definitely thin them out now to one per 4 inch pot. Use a knife to carefully lever the seedlings out and gently separate them and only hold the seedlings by a seed leaf, not by the stems!!
