Hi,

struggling to get my outdoor pot grown tomatoes to ripen this year (apart
from the cherry tomatoes which are doing fine).

Each time I see a ripe tomato and pick it, I find that it has been 'got at'.

I am now pondering if the tomatoes are attacked just as they ripen, or if
the damage causes them to ripen more quickly.

No need to water them today, although I will need to right the ones which
have blown over once the wind eases.

My mini-greenhouse (plastic bag over a frame style) has just blown right off
my pepper plant, which seems to be doing better than the peppers growing out
on the patio.

What a nasty day :-(

Cheers
Dave R
