Just Killed My Tomtato

[sallym]

Well, I had a feeling it would all go wrong. Grafted tom and spud, all looked well.Waited till both showed they were still growing then cut of all potato growth. Everthing seemed fine so about an hour ago (2 weeks after cutting off potato growth) took the plunge and cut off tomato root ball. Disaster Tomato now looks very droopy. Will water and put in greenhouse to see if it recovers but don't hold your breath. Was only ever supposed to be a bit of fun, but starting to feel really sad at having killed off a tomato that I've known since it was a seed. Will wait to see if potato regrows before sending to compost bin.

Hope it recovers. I really want to have a go at this myself.

OOh Actually it didn't die It picked up over the next couple of days, and I have just noticed small flower buds on it. Its very exciting. If it survives I will post some piccies.

Fascinating, I have never heard of such a thing before and had to google it to find out. Glad to hear that your pomato is doing well, looking forward to seeing the progress.
