Just as you thought that you had mastered the art of pinching out, the clever s***s find a new way to survive!!

Yep, I found a few rogue fat sideshoots yesterday. If they do get big before you notice, do you remove them anyway, Tim?

Because I potted on really deeply I am getting a lot of shoots coming up from the bottom - took me a while to realise they were there.

Tim I love the neat figure of 8 ties - I try to do mine as beautifully from now on.  :)

Caroline - yes.

You may have missed it, but my shoot is growing sideways out of the stem, not from a junction!

But then again-there are side shoots and double stems?-some of my `Heritage ` toms do that

You can actually pot on side shoots to give more plants just treat like cuttings.
