How I Rescued My Tomatoe Plants

I thought i would inform everyone of my succes with reviving my Tomatoe plants which i have grown from seed from a shop bought Tomatoe. I had 14 plants in total, when they had grown to a reasonable size i potted them up and split them with a family member.
He put his in his porch which is constantly warm and sunny (Kinda like a Greenhouse) I Put mine on my shed roof where it gets the sun for at least half of the day....
Needless to say his porch started to look like a jungle and my plants stopped growing and went a bit pale and sick looking
Still being a bit daft i was convinced they would perk up in time so i put them in a hanging basket attached to my fence (still only half a day of sun)
WRONG!!!
So after being nagged at to make some warmth for them i finnally gave in and created a homemade Greenhouse. I took some Used pallet wrap from work (Recycling) and i wrapped it round my hanging basket.
After 1 week there growing like mad and looking a whole lot healthier.
So if your in a similar position, there is hope!
