I'll catch them all

I will, I'll catch all those side shoots on the tomatoes when they appear. I've noted down every other day in my Filofax - 

"Pick out side shoots."

That should do it.

Every year I always miss a few and great long stems appear that I haven't the heart to cut off, so my greenhouse has string everywhere to hold up all the extra leggedy bits. Not any more.


No it didn't do it. Every day I have to check each plant and nip out those shoots. They grow at an extraordinary pace. This little blighter is 2 days old - I missed it!

Now it's  -

"Pick out the side shoots every day."

I'll catch them all!

  2. Ah, I always make myself the same promise, but the plats get away from me. Every. Time.

    Maybe I need to be more diligent too...

  4. String around the tomato plants is just an everyday occurrence around here. Good luck.

    God bless.
