I took 3 internodal tomato stems (the side shoots you pinch out) and potted them on into individual pots. Straws and plastic bags were put over to create a tent to help stop them from wilting:
All being well, they should be rooted in a couple of weeks, grown on and potted into large pots after that.
These will live outdoors then be brought into my conservatory later in the year, and with a bit of luck, will provide some late tomatoes.
SNAP!
ReplyDeleteA clever idea. Hopefully, it will all work out well.

Me too, always like to try.

ReplyDeleteUsually and pretty strong all round.
DeleteThat's always worth doing :-)
ReplyDeleteUsually are a good idea. Just worried the dreaded blight might kick in this year so also busy spraying with disprin.
DeleteThat is such a clever idea, we have plenty for now but certainly something to think about for next year.
ReplyDeleteI try to do it each year. They are supposed to produce stronger plants.
Deleteroot easily in water and very quickly.
