I don't compost the blighted foliage either.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14490964982321159910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-29712535636649996592015-09-24T15:27:55.883+01:002015-09-24T15:27:55.883+01:00Caro, the piece of stem left in the pot just allow...Caro, the piece of stem left in the pot just allows me to separate the plant with its roots from the soil / compost more easily.

There's no blight here so it's worth leaving them until any frosts arrive. I noticed yesterday that some of the larger toms have started to ripen so I'm hoping for a few more sunny days. Why do you leave part of the stem in the pot?
