When i lived in Ireland i grew tomatoes each year .Both under glass and outdoors .Now living in Pattaya /Jomtien i have sown some tomato seed ,but they only produce the seed leaves and then become stunted and later die .
Last time i used seed from ripe tomatoes produced by D.A.T.T.( Dutch Co ,with hydroponic farms in Northern Thailand ).
I am guessing its the constant high temperature that the tomato seedlings dont like ? or else its the PH of the soil .Have not got a PH meter though .Soil was bought in the usual bags at a local garden center .
