      Awesome, SP Be interesting to know how the resulting plants perform following this somewhat unconventional start i.e. can it be taken as a sign of good vigour or no bearing? I'm yet to come across this too. Interesting also when you consider the standard course for fruit that is steadily going over is deterioration and then rot. What determined yours should become incubators instead of tombs? Need a science grape to explain all..

        Maybe SP's shop tomato has been treated in some way to hold back ripening - or its been grown outside the UK. It does look a bit pale for a sun-ripened one. Do you know where it was grown?

        BTW I have clusters of tomato seedlings in the GH now - growing where toms had fallen last year. Do we cosset our toms too much? Perhaps they don't need heated propagators? My earliest toms last year came from one of these self seeded plants.

            There's a fairly high chance the tomato wasn't uk grown. Get most of our "none home grown" from the fish & veg man that comes round on a Wednesday evening. We are very luck if the veg we get lasts 2 days before rotting! Specially his tomatoes and apples.

                He's doing very well. He'll need potting on soon

                When I do pot him on, I'll bury his little kink that hasn't grown out.

                    Not yet. I think he should though any suggestions?

                      He looks like Cedric to me - he had a bit of a kink too - or so the rumour goes.

                          Is there any way of telling if a tomato is a cordon or bush type, when you don't know the variety?
                          I pinched out the side shoots on Bartholomew yesterday then realised he might not of liked that
