What happens if you plant your seedlings too close?

[tege22]

Hello to all,

I'm a first time gardener and I am trying container growing. I have a 35 gallon holder and I think I might have planted my tomatoes too close. They are only about 6-7 inches away from each other. Is it okay to pull up some of them and move them or would this damage the roots too badly? Or could I just leave them and bear with smaller fruit?

The Seedelings Will Crowd Each Other out.

pull some out so that they are spaced properly, they will be better off than crowded. Tomatoes aren't a fragile plant, if they break, plant that part again, deep.
