Is it okay to leave tomato plants close together?
You have too much vegetation together. I don't know what the area size is but plants, tomatoes especially need breathing and spreading room. take out the other beans and carrots to about 2 feet away.
Reply:Depends on where they are grown, If your in the hot dry south you should be fine, If your in the soggy northeast, odds are you will have to deal powdery mildew and bacterial spot
Reply:Whereas-- if you provide containment for the tomatoes, allowing for air circulation, watch for problems, feed and water well-- I say keep them and learn.
Beans will put nitrogen in the soil so that should help your tomatoes-- carrots are in the ground a long time-- so I would have gone with radishes and lettuce--
Rodale books have many that speak to "the square foot gardner" or something like that-- you might check them out.....
and start composting now!!
good luck
Reply:Tomatoes must have 20-30 cm distance between them,in order to get sun .If they are close together,your tomatoes will be smaller and not so many.
If you try to move a tomato plant when it has flowers, the plant will die.
