F1 Sungold. Flum's fave tomato.
I don't usually buy ready grown toms, well - the odd one maybe if it takes my fancy...usually heritage only though.
But this year I stood next to one in a nursery and by golly, it leapt right into my hand. £1.20 for a fine looking plant, just about to flower.
Took it home. [I had paid for it, obviously!].
Nipped out 3 'armpits' and put them into modules; so now I've got potentially 4 F1 Sungolds from one £1.20 plant.
I'll keep putting the armpits into compost and repotting as they grow on....making probably at least 15 plants all from one original plant.
And to top it all, the first bud opened today so the first flower on it is out.

The Tories are in power now and trying to bring a bit of decorum to the land.
Sideshoots, if you don't mind!!!!!Lol
