Tomato plants

Alison_B · 2005-07-22 21:21:47

Reading various threads a couple of months ago, I decided to have a go at growing my own tomato plants from seed. Didn't think anything would take as I can't normally grow anything but have been very surprised at how many plants I have got - have given loads to neighbours and friends and binned half of the seedlings.:doh:…

If you have a large side shoot, you can pot it into some wet sandy compost and it will grow into a new plant. keep it well watered until it takes hold

I have done this.. even with normal compost. It went a bit droopy at first but loads of water and they come up nice. I have 4 small plants which are side shoots. 1 has blossom on it!
