Tomato plants disaster?

Well, I said I wouldn’t grow any toms this year because in 2009 and 2010 my attempts were an absolute disaster.
But, never a one to be beaten, especially by a mere tomato, I popped some in and, low and behold, they too were a total disaster!!!
SO, deciding to give them one more try I put some seeds in the greenhouse. HURRAH!! Success, or so I thought until this afternoon, when a friend told me I was growing them in the wrong soil/compost!!!
All I want to do is eat one of my own, homegrown, tomatoes. Will I ever win? Answers on a postcard please:-(

Penny, if they are growing, just go with it! What happens to them? Have you just planted the seeds? Is there any growth? As Oliveoil says, what sort of compost are you using? Keep at it...they'll pop up when you're not looking!

Oh yeah, I agree keep growing them on, we all have our own ideas, likes and dislikes, the end result is what counts, I wish you every success with them....

I grow them every year andstart the seeds in march in a propagator in multipurpose compost, the move out of there has been easy this year as its been so warm ( it can be tricky in cold springs)they are now in 3" pots and they still get covered with bubble plastic at night-- they'll soon be moving into grobags but never outside-- too windy and uncertain here for any success outdoors
