      Potted on a few of the BIG ones, Big Zac, Early Goliath, Better Boy, Delicious and Big Boy and happy to announce that the seed saved from my monster Big Boy last year IS viable, damn, why did I rule myself out of the biggest tomato category? "busted"

          I just haven't the time to give my toms the attention they deserve Loli, what with the allotment, dogs and all the jobs Carol keeps finding for me, I'm surprised I've done as much as I have so far!!!!!! :cry3:

            Hi folks.

            Made my second sowing today which are destined for outdoor use. These were Ferline, Ildi, Roma, Cuore Di Bue, Gardeners Delight and some old Legend seed that I came across.

            Cheers...Freddy

                    Today I'm planning to do the grafts (about 9 plants) and pot on the remainder, I won't risk them in the greenhouse just yet.
