    Buying tomato plants

    I normally grow from seed and give some to mum for her GH, she finds the cordons a bit of faff now so I'm thinking bush types and tumblers for outside .
    I have bought the odd plant from GC but wondering about buying plugs online?
    .....or does anyone have a recommendation to look out for in a GC for producing plenty little toms?

    Thanks

    You can't beat 'Tumbler' for a heavy cropping basket/container tom.

      I know a few people don't rate the taste but last year we had 2 red and 2 yellow Tumbling Toms in 16in hanging baskets. The red were OK but the yellow ones were lovely.

      It does depend on personal taste though.

      p.s I still have half a freezer full of the little critters as they were so productive even the neighbours shrieked when they saw me holding a bag of yet more toms.

          I'd be reluctant to buy online. Maybe look @ BnQ or H0mebase.

              Not too late to sow seeds if you can't find the right plants.

                  I bet it won't be long before you local allotments have their sales. I think we had ours around May time.

                      That's a shame cos you could have found some real bargains.

                          Whereabouts are you? Sounds like my neck of woods minus deer

                            Wish our site had an allotment sale. May mention this as a suggestion when I see the committee members this weekend
