Ray picked about 3 doz. Jersey Sunrise this morning. They're in one of
the
greenhouses and have ripened very rapidly over the last week.

Well done. I had my first Million Bells tomato from the greenhouse this
afternoon and won't be long before they're in proper production abw.
Isn't
fruit extraordinary this year outdoors. Strawberries, raspberries,
goosegobs
and loganberries all in plentiful supply with blackcurrants and
blackberries
coming along well in the outside lane.


I can't get The Boss to grow anything for us other than cucs and toms and
those are to spoil me. But this year he has put in lots more tomato
plants
so that the tea room can benefit too. Don't know Million Bells tomatoes,
only Petunias (Calibrachoa)! Are the Million Bells toms like Tumbler?


They are small cherry size tomatoes and plenty of them. Vanessa is a regular
size tom that has fruit right up the stem and beginning to ripen. Hoping for
no blight this year.
