Tomato plants: together or separate and replant?
You don't really need to separate them until your final transplant, but it's probably better to do it beforehand, if you have the time and resources.

Why my vegetable become prematurely ready?
It's the weather. It became warm early (even before spring) and then cold again. Many of our plants have flowered then and flowered again in Spring. And the extraordinary rain has made things weird ...

How far apart should I space Jerusalem artichokes?
The RHS says one foot but of course after the first season they'll sprout anywhere depending on what's been left behind. If you plant them too far apart the wind can blow them down so I found it's ...

Planted my super sonic tomatoes too close, am I screwed?
Go with "everything seeming OK" as your first clue.

Planted my super sonic tomatoes too close, am I screwed?
I would still tie them to stakes. Or if it's next to a fence or on a balcony then tie them to some support.

What’s a reasonable number of succulents to plant in this dish?
If you want flowers, I would say the important factor is getting the plants into an annual rhythm with a dormant period.

I've trained a vine (cultivar - Phoenix) up a pergola in my garden, so I can tell you what works for me. There's a permanent "T" shaped framework consisting of a single main stem going up one vertical ...

How far should wires be if nailed straight onto a brick wall?
You only need enough space between the wires and the wall so you can thread the ties behind the wires.
It might be easier to use a wooden frame like these pictures, instead of wires. You only need ...

The idea of sowing several seeds together is that (at least on a commercial scale) seeds are cheap compared with the cost of compost, pots, physical space (including heating costs) and labour to plant ...

Tomato plants: together or separate and replant?
I would separate them to some extent. I have had rows of tomatoes before and one can choke another of sunlight and water if they are planted too close together. That being said, having them intertwine ...
