Picked all the green ones from our gro-bag (tm) a few days ago. Went to
look at the plants with a view to dumping them yesterday and one of them
has decided to have another go! Beautiful new flowers


In past years my outdoor tomatoes have produced and (slowly) ripened fruit
until the first frost.

Some years this could be as late as December.

However this year the outdoor plants have been wiped out by blight.

So if you are in an area with late frosts, you might give it another
chance :-)


Noticed a great deal of weed seedlings coming up in a large patch on the
allotment, went and took a look and it's thousands of tomato plants. Where
we had the 6 Losetto plants, and couldn't pick the fruit underneath as the
bushes are so low, the seeds have germinated profusely. Now, is it worth
potting up some?
