How green was my tomato plant

[swee'pea99]

So green

Have to say they are a daily joy to me - as lovely as any flowers. And they just get better and better. And then you get to eat them!

The peppery smell of tomatoes has to be one of the very best.

We must have a different UV intensity in Bristol as mine are a lighter shade of green ;-)

Try telling my 2 year old son not to pick them though

Mine is an indoor cherry tom plant and only just started to produce

But size doesn't matter
It smells lovely though.

Here in Oz we don't usually plant until late September.
Then we have to keep the water up or they don't do well at all.
What variety have you got there Sweet Pea?

The smell is lovely though.

One of Summer's delights every year is tomato plants near the back door in a south-facing raised bed against the fence. Basil, and this year Rocket at their feet. The Cherry toms rarely make it into the house the larger ones, chopped with fresh basil, a sprinkle of EV olive oil, and a nice Balsamic is something we never tire of.

Gardeners Delight. I've been growing them for getting on 50 years and they never disappoint - small, plentiful and bursting with sweet flavour.

Ah, but the smell when you open the tin.

A teeny tiny glimpse of the current ratatoille glut (before cooking!)
I'm avoiding photos of the courgette & marrow mountain - too alarming.

I've watered my tomato plants religiously, an they still look like they've crawled across the Kalahari on a teaspoon full of seawater. They're still giving me a good crop though.

This year's tomato harvest looks like being a complete disaster. Couldn't get plants or even seeds due to lockdown, what we scrounged from friends were planted in growbags as an experiment which has been the real disaster. The plants got scorched during May's sunshine then the fruit rots at the bottom when it's cooler. I'm holding out for something from three plants that were grown from seeds bought the day B+Q opened again, which were planted out in the soil.
