Just in case anyone is following   

100% mortality with the grafted tomato plants, Im still not sure about the pepper x tomato, shame as they were looking promising for a few days  but looking at the graft sites they just didn't take at all.

Those were all tube grafted at 2mm (ish) as things are a little bigger now I've tried some approach grafts.

Arnold x shirley
Arnold x black from tusa
Arnold x sungold

All the arnold tops have had their leaves removed and are sitting in damp compost to root for another round rather than heading off to the bin.

I tried grafting tomatoes last year as an experiment. Total abject failure. The only one that succeeded was when I accidentally grafted a Roma on a Roma (which didn't have much point).

The main problem that I could see was getting the rootstock and the scion the same size.  Don't think I will try again. Although ...

I've been trying for several seasons and only managed 1 graft and the plant was so weak it didn't even fruit.   

Years of constant failure isn't going to stop me trying though - it needs a decade or so for me to get the message

Yeah.... mine didn't recover after being dropped on the floor- can't think why 

However- have learnt that if I sow Aubgs on Dec 26th I end up with seriously nice plants, currently in the greenhouse.  Don't have the heart to chop up another one as I've never had Aubgs this lush before.....

Think I'll rename this thread to "What's dead in the healing chamber today" 

The arnold x black from tusa is a goner, as is the pepper / tomato graft but the sungold and Shirley look ok. I've taken the clips off and they're getting some indirect sunlight.

Not sure how much is being fed from the rootstock and how much from the scion at the moment, I'm hoping the picture is just from a bad angle as it doesn't look like much of the rootstock is grafted it's difficult to see but I guess I'll find out when I try and wean them.
