all my tom plants ruined by stupidity (moi taking a tumble in the greenhouse and knocking the relevant pots flying - smashing them to bits) Don't worry, the greenhouse and moi are still in one piece.  Anyway, is there any point in my starting from seed again? boo hoo hoo 

[Aunt Sally]

Oh dear 

It's a bit late to start again I think.  Can you buy some plants from a good nursery ?

Give some of these a ring.

[plum crumble]

fanks aunty - thought that was my likely route.  hurt my elbow too. bah!

[Auntiemogs]

Oh Plum!    I'm glad you are ok but what a shame....xx

[plum crumble]

fanks Auntiemogs - I shall certainly survive, but it really is annoying after an already difficult start to the season. grr.

are you sure your toms arn't salvageable - they root from the stems very easily ( only problem is that you wont know the varieties of the toms until they produce fruit)

[mumofstig]

You can always root the tops of the plants in water, it don't take long for them to root 

[Spana]

What about buying half as many plants as you need and rooting some of the side shoots to make up the rest. Save a bit of money and they catch up really quickly.

Elbows really hurt when you knock them dont they.


Just seen mums post, thats a good idea and would save even more money. :happy:

They did indeed snap when plum knocked them over 

[Aunt Sally]

Oh dear    You be careful !

Great idea

There you go - not all is lost

I only sowed my toms yesterday so am definitely hoping it's not too late!

Well it's worth a go. 

[sarajane]

I'd do cuttings and also go and buy some whilst they are still in the shops, just to be on the safe side.

Poor you with a poorly elbow  -  very very lucky it was only that after falling in a greenhouse
