Bit of a shame

[cambourne7]

So i have some tomato plants left and its a shame to throw them out and no one wants them (have given some away) not sure what i should do but i have some space in a outside planter what do you think my chances are? They have said its going to be a very hot summer ... what should i avoid putting it with?

Stick them out.  What have you got to lose?  What varieties?  One neighbour on lottie has those pop up dome shaped tent things for tommies and such.

Seems worth a try 
I have put some outside this year in an unaccustomed burst of optimism!

I grow my tomatoes in large pots (10" or 11" diameter) on a sunny patio up canes fixed to the house wall. It works though the fruit doesn't ripen until August or September in most years. I try to choose varieties that are described as suitable for outside growing. If the pot is large enough and you keep it well watered, you've got every chance of some success.

If its empty inside it will be easier to stuff

I have a stripped stuffer.. also "almost empty". I've finally got rid of my spares without composting any.

I had a shed load left over and have put them in a sunny but sheltered part of the plot.  canes to hold up and some good compost added.  I am feeding with liquid manure (water in which horse manure has been soaked).  Most are Ox Heart type or similar, maybe one or two Moneymaker.  Did the same last year and they did very well.  Pinched the tops out at 4 feet.  Give it a go.  Better than chucking good plants away.
