You'll go blind!

I thought it was something else that caused that ?

What is it with these boys today? 

Too much Christmas cheer already d'you think?

Hmmm, you are making me envious of the outdoor toms after losing mine to B***** for the last three years. I have just placed my order with Moles and have included some F1 Aegis rootstock seeds so I'll be giving the grafting a go this year.
I have also inherited a quantity of blue water pipe so I'm going to be making some mini tunnels for the outdoor toms and sweet peppers.  :blink:

If you are covering the tomatoes next year try not to let it become too humid inside - this could encourage blight to develop if the spores waft in while you are picking or watering.

Sounds a good idea though. I've given up with outside tomatoes after just one really good bumper crop about 5 years ago and 4 years of b***y b****t when nothing much was saved from the nasty black-death wilting disease. I grow all of mine in greenhouses now. The flavour might not be quite so special but the crop is safe/r.

I'm restricted to an 8' x 6' greenhouse which doesn't give a lot of elbow room for the toms together with Q's and sweet peppers. That's why I thought of the poly tunnels, about 3' wide. I'm thinking of building them on a timber framework so that I can lift one side during the day and prop it up to give some ventilation.

Good luck - sounds worth trying....you may get the best of both worlds = protection from b****t as well as the better taste of outdoor growing. Let us know how you get on next summer.
