So you don't get yours into flower before they go out, either??

I need to spray my tomato plants--with something attractive?

They are out there and the traffic is very busy but nobody is stopping >:(

How good to see you three "old timers" together on one thread - made my day!

In addition to growing our usual toms we have bought a few "grafted" ones - have you tried these, is there any real benefit for the cost?  Canny Scot you know...

Sorry if I've hijacked then thread - I never learn.

I haven't had the need!

I can't really see the point of them unless they are something that is a bit special and needs a stronger root stock to increase the amount and or size of the fruit.

If this be the case I don't think I will bother, all I want is a good crop of nice tasting tomatoes and I get these from the seeds I save.

I suppose another reason is; I am not a connoisseur of tomatoes, perhaps I am too easily pleased!
