Tomatoes; Gardeners' World training method
I think the essence of it went something like this:
1. Tomatoes set on every third truss (set of leaves)
2. Chop the main stem off above a flowering truss.
3. Allow the side shoot that results to become the new main stem.
4. Repeat 1-3 as the plant grows.
Apparently this leads to tomatoes setting on every second truss rather
than
every third truss.
I think I quoted that right - but I'm not a tomatoe expert.
GW are trying the method to see if they get a better crop.
Thanks for info. I'm going to try this with some of the tomatoes growing at
school. Will let you know how I get on.
