I just wanted to thank those of you on here a while back who advised that it was possible to generate new tomato plants from sideshoots. I was a little sceptical about this but decided to experiment for myself and now report that the first flowers have developed on one of my sideshoot new plants, and the top of another tomato plant which snapped off rooted and is now bearing its first tiny tomato. I'm really chufed about this. The plants are still quite short but I'm looking forward to the remainder of the growing season to see how they develop.
Does anybody know if you can do this with pepper plants?

Dear Primrose, glad the Tomato cuttings have worked.
Regarding the Peppers, i have never done this, but i can see no reason why not, a lot of things can be struck from cuttings.
