Does anyone know of any good tricks, such as only allowing 1 truss per plant, pinching out everything else to get a crop much earlier.
Flowerdew suggests that one could make do with only ONE plant :o
What you pinch out if potted on will make plants. The shoots grow on and develop quicker than in the usual way, because it is already a truss ??? ;D ;)
Flowerdew is right. I've been doing that for a few years now and the shoots that I pinch out tend to grow sturdier than the original plant. In effect, you only need to sow one seed of each variety to get all the plants you require.
To get some tommies earlier sow a few outdoor type tomatoes but grow them in the greenhouse ..They will ripen quite a bit earlier than Your cordon type greenhouse tomatoes.. Jim
