I have found that the most healthy lush green toms this year are the ones I broke by accident in beginning of June and replanted the broken bits.  Funny that isn't it.  But well worth doing again if I break any which I am bound to do.

I only did that today. Big one broke off in the wind so planted it in the poly tunnel.

Bit late now, but don't forget next year to stick your side shoots in as well.

My mum broke a tom stem in half by accident,and they are growing nicely! (with toms on of course  ) Super tough toms

I grew loads of side shoots on and all my neighbours got freebies of Yellow Pear 

Thanks DD for the idea way back

Ah I remember now thats where I got the idea from DD.  So thanks for that DD.

Thanks from me too DD, I had poor germination with tomato seeds this year, but by propagating the side shoots from those that did appear , I managed to get lots of healthy plants .
