  • I'm of the same opinion as most (you can do it but it's not really worth it) unless you fancy doing it as an experiment and see what happens like cuttings vs seeds type thing

    I woudn't normally bother but one of my Rosella got broken off at about 2" above the soil (next door's children's football) and then produced two new shoots that are now about 2 feet tall and flowering, so I think I'll bring that one in and see if it produces any fruit on the kitchen windowsill.  Nothing lost if it doesn't.
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained

    Although we have never had blight here, I desided to grow mainly blight free tomatos this year, plus French Heritage Marmand, the seeds were expensive, but I was picking a couple of kg a day from each plant, so well worth the expense, I wouldnt bother trying to save cuttings, you could however save some of the seeds if you are really keen

    Just thought I’d update my progress with these toms, I managed to save one plant and it’s flourishing hope to take cuttings from the side shoots when they’re big enough. I also saved some seed, although this variety is an F1 hybrid so expect a few surprises there, and they seem to be germinating.
