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 :)

One of our Tumblers in a basket is flowering but the main plants have
had the chop. Ray says that even if they fruit, they won't ripen but
you have a much better chance in Jersey!

Speaking to one of our allotment holders in Sainsburys this morning, she
said that some weeks ago she cut their tomatoes at home down to almost
ground level but left the pot where they were on her patio. One of them is
now back to a foot tall and flowering profusely.

Oh Baz which part of the island are you going to? My family are almost
all from Grouville and St Martin, so I feel quite foreign if I go west!

St.Peter, Mary, Ouen and Brelade.
I want to visit Wolffs caves again in St.John again if we have time.

On 29 Oct. we have a guest of La Moye to collect. Then home.

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 :-)

Cheers

There's a load of blackberries almost ripe too here - thought they'd
finished ages ago.

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?
