Still collecting 2-3lb tomatoes a day, which isn't bad for
mid October, I must say.
Ours out on the allotment are also growing again and flowering, not for long
I fear.

I put a few tomatoes out on the allotment just because I ran out
of room in the greenhouses (I ran the plant stall at the school
summer fete, and I ended up taking home more plants than I took,
even after donating a huge amount to the school gardening club
- at one point I had an entire double table of tomato plants!
After a month of feeding them to the chickens (in hindsight, the
idea of training them to eat my tomato plants may not have been
my best ever!) I gave up and planted a bunch in a gap on the
sweetcorn patch.)

They weren't really treated very nicely - I didn't stake them
or side-shoot them or feed them or anything, and it's kind of
obvious. :-}

Picked 18 lbs of ripe Toms last week and there will be more if they don't
get frosted.

I discovered a whole pile of red tomatoes that I'd previously
not noticed yesterday! Greenhouse2 (actually the greenhouse of
the lady whose garden backs onto ours who has kindly allowed
our tomatoes to squat on her premises) is a bit of a jungle
still. I keep trying to cut it back and failing miserably.
