Wow, your way ahead of me lol. But I'm not much good with seeds and I prefer to buy the tiny plants. Find the wee Cherry Toms easier to grow too.

Excellent Alan

I have ordered a grafted tomato plant to try. I ordered it back in the autumn before I knew I was going on holiday in May when it is due to be delivered so I am hoping it survives in the porch until I return.

Smashing plants Alan. My biggest plant is about 4" so they are nowhere near ready for planting out.
Wish my greenhouse was as tidy as yours mine is choc-o-block with cuttings and seed trays.

Re: Tomato Plants (updated @ post 14)

Those plants look really fit Alan. I'm growing 3 varieties this year, "Gardener's Delight" cherry tomato, "Cristal" as my main crop and a trial variety from Thompson and Morgan, but what type they are I've no idea as they don't put any information on the packet...

Hi Barry, last year I grew a plum tomato but they were lacking in flavour.

I find plum tom's taste better cooked than raw ... for making sauces the longer its cooked the better the flavour.
