  • Hundreds and Thousands Tomatoes and grafted Toms

    I'd like to hear some feedback from anyone who tried growing the Hundreds and Thousands type tomato plant that was advertised all over the place last year. It looks like a nice idea, but if you tell me it needs coddling in a greenhouse or takes until October to ripen or needs a 200L container to have enough nutrients to get all the fruit to work, I might pass.

    The other one that I've seen that looks impressive but that I'd again like feedback from some people who have actually grown it rather than the sellers would be grafted tomatoes. The pictures show amazing results, but hey, they can spend the time and money to get those results. I can't, never mind lacking in the skill department. Example of grafted tomatoes

    i grew them last year from plug plants, and i have to say they had very little molly coddling and i had a really good crop from them and they were very sweet. I grew them in ordinary hanging baskets with whichever compost i had at the time. They got fed once a week if i remembered and watered most days. I will be growing them again from self saved seed and hope they are successful, and if youve got kids they love em mine just helped herself whenever she walked past

      I grew them last year from plants, (seeds this yr ! ) I put one in a 16 inch hanging basket with some lobelia and they did very well, they often went without water as i was working away and my OH wasnt great at remembering!
      would say that I had alot of small ones, 5 pence size, tasted great thou! and probably got about 75% of what the picture showed, hope this helps !

        That's great you two, thanks very much for your quick responses.

        Hmm, sorry to anyone who tries my links, it looks like they aren't working for some reason. At least for me, despite having tested them before.

                      Yup, I did them last year too, as it said I got hundreds and thousands of the little mites, although dont think I will be doing them this year as I had way too many to eat. One thing I did notice is if you leave them till their really red they taste much better.

                      No codling needed either just put em in a hanging basket (2 to a basket) and left em to it, they ripened late but earlier than the rest of my toms but I think that was more down to the lack of sun last yr.
