You know about the sideshoots/armpits rerooting and making new plants now, don't you?

Yes, I've rooted sideshoots before and had good results.

What ARE you talking about? I have been starting toms early for years now.  ::)

to clarify cordon/vining/indeterminate  tomato varieties do not need side shoots/suckers/armpits removed and not removing them gives you greater fruit production.  

for those who still don't understand picture diagrams might be your only hope.

[Squash64]

Well I've just googled 'tomato armpits' and now I've got pictures of SWEATY hairy armpits in my mind.

I love tomatoes - can we abandon the armpits please?

[plainleaf]

I'm not 'blaming' anyone, I'm just asking if we could lose the armpits.

Google can sometimes be your enemy, not your friend.

I'm afraid that armpits have to stay - it's a very good tactic to get kids interested in gardening - add that to the fact that...actually, no - I'm not going there, you might pass out if armpits was making you queasy.

May I remind you who posted this thread to get my attention?

I am comfortable with all aspects of my tomatoes - they are all nice and juicy and perfect. Thanks for the offer but I'm just not interested in your 'olericulture' or whatever you call it over the pond.

Olericulture is the science of vegetable growing, dealing with the culture of non-woody (herbaceous) plants for food.

I am not interested. If you want to tutor someone, get the yellow pages out. Or look in the inside of a phone booth.
