    Armpit hairs?

    D'you think this guy's been reading some of our tomato threads and getting himself confused?

      Blimey, I read all the article and then couldn't get out of the newspaper! He's totally confused and I really can't see anyone taking their tomatoes back to the supermarket because of "tastelessness". Interesting idea though. As for the armpit hairs, well, he must grow funny looking tomatoes - or peculiar arm pits?

        I reckon he googled "grow your own tomatoes". By the time you get to the end of the 2nd word the top two results lead here...

              To be honest, despite mum and dad growing tomatoes, along with most of my relatives, I had never heard sideshoots referred to as armpits before joining the vine. I still refer to them as sideshoots, armpits give me such a 'not nice' feeling. On another point, I've got around 15 plants rooted from my sideshoots to plant up the allotment this weekend, all in flower, so thanks to the grape that brought that idea to me (even if he/she did refer to them as armpits)
              I could not live without a garden, it is my place to unwind and recover, to marvel at the power of all growing things, even weeds!

                    Never ever heard the phrase "armpit" before coming to the vine, the mans a tealeaf.

                      Definitely stole that phrase; this is the only place I've ever heard of it and I mix with gardeners all day every day and nobody knows what I'm talking about when I talk about it......he could have referenced us the thieving b******

                        Do we have any idea who first called them armpits here on the vine ?

                            no idea but the proper name for an armpit in our parlance is an oxter.

                              I think armpits is a much better description ......
