tomato cuttings

I did that last year and got 8 really healthy plants from 1 mother plant they grow really fast

 

I've rooted the odd tom cutting for years, usually do a couple around July to give me a couple of late fruiting plants.
Bet I'm the only one that grows potato cuttings though?

 

Sounds good never tried how do you go about cuttings from potatos ?

 

you stingy

 

You just lost that bet!

If you're in the habit of reducing the number of shoots on seed spuds, to just 3 for a heavy crop, or just one for biggest potato show class, you'll have spare shoots and there's 2 ways (maybe more) of doing it:

1) Use the end of a potato peeler to gouge out 'spare' eyes and plant them up.

2) If starting spuds part buried in trays (I use small, drilled mushroom boxes) prior to potting up and then planting out, unwanted shoots can be removed complete with abundant roots and potted up.



P.S. If you've bought a few expensive tomato seeds, it's a good idea to let a plant produce lots of side shoots and pot them up for freebies, and if non-F1 for seed saving.

 

They are Irishman's cuttings @Scrungee

Just, normal stem cuttings work.
But I wouldn't recommend it as a way of growing spuds.
You normally only get one spud per plant.
