Grafting tomatoes

When the graft has take, the silicone clips still give needed support and don't need to be removed as the stems growing are strong enoughto expand them and eventually you can remove them or let them be flicked off (and potentially lost). The first time I grafted tomatoes, I started removing the clips at this stage and broke some in the process. So now leave them till they are nearly disloged by the plant.

They are now ready for carefully potting on into 3.5" pots
