Topsy Turvy tomatoes and herbs from seed

I'm new to gardening and have a couple questions.

1. I planted a cherry tomato plant in a Topsy Turvy a month ago.  The vines are growing a lot, there are maybe 10 green tomatoes, and a bunch more yellow flowers.  How long until the tomatoes will be ripe enough to pick?  I'm excited!

2. I planted basil and cilantro from seed in the middle of March.  I kept them inside until June and then moved them outside.  They look healthy, but are growing really slowly.  3+ months later, the basil is maybe 2 inches tall with 2 good size leaves; the cilantro is 6 inches tall.  Do I need to repot them at some point?  They're in small pots now and I'm wondering if that's inhibiting their growth??

 TIA

  • Yes, definitely repot the herbs!

    I'm guessing maybe another 2-4 weeks, depending on the variety. I have 12 topsy turvys (so 28 plants total) and I'm guessing beginning of august is when I'll start bringing veggies in. 
  • Ok, thanks.  I did repot the basil and cilantro a couple days ago.  I bet it will help.  I'm sure my tomatoes will ripen eventually, I'm just anxious!  Thank you!
