Default Still harvesting tomatoes

...
Not only am I still harvesting, but some of the plants have just sprouted
new growth, and one has new flowers! And one of the greenhouses has an
infestation of fat hairy black caterpillars.

Outdoor tomatoes still ripening well.
I nearly brought them in green the other day but the frost missed us and the
weather is warming up again.
Can't remember the varieties but the cherry ones are holding up well, as is
one of the yellow Jamie Oliver ones from HomeBase.

Some have been blighted, but with almost all the leaves gone the blight
isn't really taking hold.

Still some flowers out, but I don't think any new fruits will get very far.

I have had outdoor tomatoes going almost till Christmas some years, but I
suspect this year may be too cold before then.

Cheers
