  I have found Piccolo to have the best flavour, markedly better the Gardener's Delight. Seed is very hard to find, however.

  I have seen, somewhere, that you can train tomato plants up and along the greenhouse roof. I have fixed staging in my greenhouse so need to do this to accommodate the plant. However I am not sure how to get that first bend from straight upright to curving up the roof without breaking the stem. Please could anyone suggest how to do this. Thank you
