          Pesky things! I don't think they will go for your toms. Are you adverse to trapping or putting down bait?

                  Are there any obvious holes for them to get in? I blocked up one in my greenhouse last weekend, they had been getting in over winter, I don't think they had eaten anything, maybe just sheltering.

                    I did my grafting today, it didn't go smoothly, I accidentally chopped off the growing tip on my spare Delicious plant, so I'm down to one giant tomato plant now. Also I struggled getting the graft clips on, out of the nine grafts I'll be lucky if only half fail. This is the first one I made, Gardeners Delight onto Arnold F1 rootstock:

                      OK I've updated the list at post #1 :)

                      Penny in Ontario you have increased the list of varieties grown from 90 to 142 !

                      That is a lot of tomatoes, just wondering why you haven't gone for the most popular variety over here - Gardener's Delight?

                        Fascinating John...I'd love to have a go at grafting.....might just dare myself:thumbsup:
                        Probably a silly question but can you mix and match any tomatoes?
