So, what's the problem.

Our climate's similar to Florida's isn't it?  :nowink:
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I guess the whole of our summer was very much like the hurricane season in Florida  ;)

I hate to tell you this but I have basket toms still going outside and those I cut down a few weeks ago have resprouted and are flowering.
How's that for weird?

Funnily enough I had a plant that grew from a squashed tomato on the edge of a pot in the greenhouse, germinating around mid December and growing slowly in the frost free greenhouse all winter.

Got to about a foot high, but a bit lanky though

Potted it on to give it a chance come March but it hardly fruited any earlier than the ones sown at normal time... so wouldn't bother again  :lol:
