      Update: Here's my two outdoor plants, Manx Marvel tomato scions on Maris Peer potato tubers, they are looking very strong and sturdy, plenty of flowers and so tiny fruit now forming:

                        They had a lot of grafted toms half price at our local Rowena garden centre off the A6 near Loughborough if anyone wants a go relatively cheaply. Also some grafted peppers.

                        Don't remember how much they were because it was peaing down and I was getting wet.

                              I saw some at a local GC, they were £2 each but going really leggy and also the tomato varieties I'd never heard of, so I wasn't even tempted.

                              Shed loads (Sorry!) of grafted peppers at my local Garden Centre ... but they are all Chilli Peppers - did they think that was going to be this year's crazy? I'l like a few more Sweet Pepper Plants ... none to be had though.
