I had a few which looked a bit blighty so I lobbed them off. The rest seem
unaffected. They are very good this year, they're trailing tomatoes so I
just bunged them in bags and pots and let them get on with it. I am going to
look like a tomato by the end of the crop.

Very good grilled or oven-baked especially. And they actually *smell* of
tomato, for the first time in years.

Stop it!! You make me so hungry. Our toms have looked so bad - the
patience left that I had sadly didn't save them from their fate - all
went onto the compost. I needed the place for a huge grass I had
divided. I'm now eating my neighbours tomatoes ... which like yours
have started to ripen and I made a ratatouille on Saturday (with
barbecued sardines in the back garden). My god ... nothing could have
prepared me for such a treat ;o)

I will keep all my toms on my veranda next year. There's very little
point trying outside again, whatever anybody say. I'm in Manchester,
and that's that.
