ANOTHER error!
« on: July 07, 2009, 17:23:59 »
I was just having a dekko at my cordon tomatoes, when I realised that when I had been cutting out the sideshoots on one of them, I accidentally chopped out the leading shoot. It only has two trusses on it! Noo! Any rescue?!

retrain the side shoot as a leader and put the cut off in some moist compost,you will be surprised how quick it will root :)

Have you nipped out the sidechute below the growing tip yet if not just let that one grow on

so far I've nipped out all the side shoots  :-[

But I notice they regrow in the same place..so maybe, just maybe I'll get some more toms on this plant. Doh!
