Today we are back and I am showing you one of my favourite garden tips, to grow an almost endless supply of tomatoes all summer long, and it all starts with just a couple of cheap little tomato plants from the shops. Tomatoes have to be one of my favourite crops to grow, as not only are you spoilt for choice when you grow your own, but the flavour truly is one of summer times real treats. I love to add them to salads, make fresh pasta sauce, or even just enjoy straight from the vine. And believe it or not you really don’t need much room to grow many tomatoes, due to their vertical growing ability. As few as four tomato plants will easily give you all you need for the summer, but as it’s easy and free to propagate more, then why not? 🤣 Now it is worth noting this method is best used to grow vine or indeterminate tomato varieties rather than bush or determinate varieties. All you need to do is let a few side shoots develop, then once they are about 6 inches long, snip them off and pop them in some water. After a week or two, they will have roots and can be potted on, to make a free tomato plant. These plants will be genetically identical to the plant you took the cutting from, so it is ideal to use on your favourite varieties. As tomatoes have a long growing season, you should really aim to start taking cuttings in May or very early June, to have any realistic chance of getting fruits before it gets too cold. Having a greenhouse or polytunnel will extend this a touch. In the past I have successfully kept a few cuttings from my favourite varieties on a windowsill overwinter, which has not only preserved that variety, but has given me a head start the following spring. This overwintering is made a lot easier if you have a grow light. Thank you so much for watching, I love you all, Joe 😊🌱💚 #tomato #gardening #gardentips #zerowaste #harvest - @joesgarden
