Thank you all very much for your advice. The plants cost me nothing but it was fun to root them in a jar of water and see roots appear magically overnight. I will have a go earlier next year and see what happens.

I took a tip from Bob Flowerdew and rooted some sideshoots from my expensive blight resistant tomatoes. Brilliant idea and I now have some healthy plants about 12inches high ready for planting out. Do you think it is worth planting these out into an unheated greenhouse at this time of the year or am...

Thank you to all for your suggestions - I will probably keep a few and pass the rest on.

Does anyone know of a good outlet for old copies of KG? I have 10 years worth of back issues and they are breaking my bookshelves!
