Congratulations!

I rescued a tomato this past season from the nearly-dead and/or wounded table at a local nursery and with a little TLC and some tomato food the plant came around and cropped just fine. Mine looked just like yours do when the new growth came in.

You've got five in one container--get four more containers and transplant one plant into the center of each, add a stake, water regularly and give a little tomato plant food and you're all set!

Good luck with your tomatoes--a little TLC has great rewards.

here is some more pics... and how much is tomato food and what do you pupose i try???

some of the leaves are still yellow as the plants had pests but i have gotton rid of them :):) any ideas guys???

I'd put each one in its own container and transplant them in an angled trench so just the top leaves stick out of the soil...new roots will grow out of the planted stems and make the plants stronger and healthier...I would also make sure to prune the side shoots or suckers of the plants -- just let one or two leaders develop and make sure they're well staked...

And use premium potting soil, not dirt from the ground...put in a handful of TomatoTone plant food in the trench as well as dolomite and eggshells...since the plants will be in containers, you'll have to pretty much water every day (make drainage wholes in the tubs)...better yet, learn to make a self-watering earthtainer from this site...

Foliar feed (soak the leaves with a nutrient solution) the plants every few weeks with something like Spray 'N Grow, or Sea Magic and/or any good plant food with an NPK of 10-20-10...

And visit this website often as it has some of the best advice from serious growers as well as us hobbyists!

Here is a link that might be useful: Pruning tomatoes

It never ceases to amaze me how resilient some tomato plants can be. I think you can nurse them back to health with no problem. As others have said, I would give them all their own pot, and for fertilizer, I like Dr. Earth's Tomato and Vegetable Formula (it's organic).

ok thanks for the advice guys... i will get pots soon... i got told by a friend it wouldnt realy matter them being in the same place as they are baby tomato plants.. i dont think i said that up there^^ sorry... do you think i still need new pots for each plant??? and bluemater it is potting soil.. just i think its not good potting soil lol cheap stuff.....

Plants look good. Put them in large pots, and use potting mix rather than potting soil. It is fluffier and way better than the soil. Those plants will do real well if you plant them very deep when you transplant them into their new homes, as someone already said above. And you might go ahead and pinch off any yellowing leaves so the plants can just work on the new growth.

Just follow the label directions on whatever tomato food you choose, because they are all a little different. Anything labeled for tomatoes or vegetables will work fine, even the cheaper brands.

Good luck, and welcome to GardenWeb.
