Nice one Tonybloke how did it taste
All mine are outside in my garden only flowers so far but lots of them so i hope I'll get some nice ones they are "allacanty" if that's how you spell it?

The wind last night broke one of the tomato plants. Never mind it all makes good compost for next years tomatoes. ;D

As long as you have some stem and a leaf it will regrow if you let it...... Alicante ;D

Don't be disappointed if it's not exquisite - quite often, at least 1 in 3 is bland, especially if they have been growing fast.

Absolutely Yummy!! Gardeners Delight by name..... ;D ;D ;D ;)

Trusses set on Piccolo and Black Russian-others well on their way.

Geting injured had a sort of silver lining-instead of having everywhere crowded out with plants for sale I had room to plant out for me,instead of having to wait until I had cleared stock.

Only about 100 more varieties to try and then I think I will draw up my final list of toms to grow

I somehow think MM will not be in the top 10 ;D

My Sungolds are doing really well as usual. The Sweet 100 are an odd shape, oval????

Jelly Bean now setting well and Shirly looking good!

tigerella ripening up as we speak, supersteak putting on weight and the plums look great so far ;D

My Galina are going mad in the greenhouse. A few weeks ago I was thinking that they were a bit pathetic for an extra early variety - they were only at the same stage as the tigerella and black cherry, ie just flowering, but now they've all got three or four trusses of fruit already set and are seven foot tall. And they've only been fed once!

Somebody remind me what triffids look like? Anything like potato leaved yellow cherry tomatoes?

A few weeks ago I saw a post on a website about taking cuttings from tomatoes. I thought I would give it a try, so I carefully cut out the shoots between the stem and a leaf and planted them as cuttings in pots. I now have several Shirley F1 hybrid plants extra to the small number of seeds in the packet.

Hi, Tim.
Yes, I think that was it, thanks for the idea, I would never have thought of that.

I put this on a par with a development about 50 years ago when a Forester tried grafting the top of a mature cedar tree onto a rootstock, it worked and they were able to pick seed cones standing on the ground instead of climbing around 100ft up a tree.
