Fingers crossed for you @purplerallim - I was gutted when the stem on mine got crushed last year. It still produced 1 or 2 a day, but the plant looked sad. Not going to let that happen again this year. In this really hot weather, I've been giving the pot 6L twice a day and feeding 3x a week - so far so good. And I've just picked another for my sarnie - so that's 14 picked today and a total of 120 in just under one month. Just wish the toms would hurry up..

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
The daily picking of raspberries is now exceeding the amount I can eat for breakfast, I feel a cheesecake coming on. Cooking gooseberries are ready for a second picking, the dessert gooseberries almost ready for the first. The rhubarb hasn't even noticed the drought.
That has to be something of a record Pete8? Have you contacted the seed company with your 120 and counting. I am lucky to get half a dozen from my plants - in a very hot conservatory, but without the elaborate support that you have (a couple of bamboos and some fine mesh netting). Well done!
Thanks GD I think that's just the way the mini-cue's are. I watched a you-tube clip a while ago and there was a single plant (grown in the ground in a greenhouse) that must have had well over 100 on it. I got lots last year too from the same variety - until the stem got crushed. So I thought this year I'd keep a tally. The support is just clematis net that I've tied to the eaves
It beats my 83g of blueberries so far
