Wednesday

I survived!!!

In other news, finally, at long, long last, my pear shaped tomatoes are starting to ripen.  I popped out yesterday evening to water the garden and caught a flash of something bright, investigated and, lo and behold, there they were, two or three tomatoes definitely turning orange!

The accidental hundreds and thousands are, as last year, producing - er - hundreds and thousands of titchy marble shaped fruit but no sign of red there yet.  Keeping fingers crossed there.

All the other tomatoes are now producing ripe fruit faster.  I usually come in with handfuls!  OK, so one beef tomato is a handful, but you know what I mean!

I think I'm getting money's worth now!

  1. So pleased to hear you survived - good for you, hope the day went well! :o)
    Fantastic re the tomatoes - have you had some of the black ones yet? The tomatoes we sampled were absolutely wonderful.
    Hope today goes well, too.

  3. That's sad, Joan! No, I haven't started the black tomatoes yet. They are very slow.:-(
