Great news Biscombe - put me down for some seeds late this year/early next would you pretty please? and in the meantime, when they're growing away nicely, can we have some photos and info notes on how they're 'behaving' and cropping? Ooh, dead 'citing stuff!

I have since read somewhere that the clear ones are no good as light can get to the roots I wasn't sure how badly this would effect the plant so am looking for alternative ways to use 200 cups?
Air pruning - The first roots race down the special grooves and quickly emerge through the drainage hole. The tips die off naturally causing masses of side roots to develop higher in the cell. This results in a super root system all set to feed a perfect plant.
Wouldn't ridged drinking cups have a similar effect?

I start mine in March - well on in March. No heating in the greenhouse so I don't like them on too early. Does anyone else grow Green Zebra? It's a big tom, a bit later ripening than most but wow! what a flavour.Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

I have see here-http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...ead.php?t=5352There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore and who always will. Don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it in your future.

Hi all,
I had started my toms already 3 weeks ago and they are cluttering my window sill, to the annoyance of my cat who likes to sit there to watch the birds feeding at my bird feeding station in the front garden.
I shall have the toms growing on in my cold frames outside later before they get too tall for the window sill.
My varieties this year are mostly organic;
Matina
Carotina
Ailsa Craig
Moneymaker
and a yellow bush tomato without a name, as seeds were saved last year from a plant I bought in the garden centre, and it had no spacifications mentioned.
All of these are going to be growing outside eventually.
I have enough plants going to have a garden sale at the end of April, too.
Happy growing to you all.
Sarina.
