We got 2.5lbs of tomatoes yesterday from the greenhouse plants! The
outdoor
ones are just starting to ripen.

Lucky you, it will at least 6 weeks before I see any from mine...

However, I do grow in what could be described as a challenging spot! Living
in a flat I managed to grab an area at the top of a bank sided by the fence
to the drying area to the east, a wall to the south and an oak tree to the
west. I estimate it gets probably 3-4 hours direct sun at most.

My tomatoes over the last 5 years have tended to be about 4 weeks behind my
sisters in her garden. But the shelter means less worry about frost, so it
was October before I brought the last in and placed in a shoe box to
ripen...


Could also be why I struggle with carrots, but I'm attempting Beetroot this
year....
