Find some good recipes for green tomato chutney as well you'll need them in October. :-)
Thanks for the message Granity My outside Toms are in pots. I have one beefsteak in the greenhouse now, planted in a growbag via a bottomless pot to enable me to feed it from the bottom. The outside toms are coming on really well too Nice tip on the ants though, that is not one I had heard of (makes note in book).

Janet, you lucky thing getting that big greenhouse! I wish I had room/money for a bigger one!
