Is it too late?

I was watching G.World and I saw them messing about with growbags. A
lightbulb suddenly appeared above my head which suggested I could grow toms
in a growbag in the conservatory.

No. Get stuck in. Or if you want a quicker start, I'm sure the car boot
sales will be awash with plants very soon.

Quite right too. Food metres instead of food miles. Works for me.

Plenty of time mate. Select the type you fancy, bung seeds into fibre pots
and leave on window sill.

I bought three small plants a week or so ago and they're doing well on a
bedroom window ledge.

I need to buy some insects to pollinate 'em when they flower, but I've
only seen one shop with a wasp in the window, and they wouldn't sell it.

We often grow ours this way and it seems to work very well. Ray just
cuts a hole in the top of each growbag, or compost bag and tucks the
plants in.

Lay a growbag flat and cut three holes in the top. Put a tomato in each hole and a cane to support the plant when it grows. Get some Tomorite from your local garden centre and follow the instructions for feeding the plants. Do not let the bags get dry.
I filled a 12' greenhouse with 42 plants this way and had a hell of a crop which I was able to sell on at that particular time. Good luck,

Bigal
