We were just saying yesterday, we are still using the last of the tomatoes. OK these had to be ripened indoors but amazing to be using our own fresh tomatoes in December!
@Eustace Well putting the largest one in with the bananas may have ripened it or it was going to do so anyway. Today we took the plunge....and it was lovely. Only had a half each but after so many years so pleased to have something.
@bertrand-mabel I have the pleasure of knowing Lyn and can confirm she has some of the greenest fingers on this Forum. By this time of year, I've almost forgotten what proper toms look like so it's lovely to see those.
It’s just a matter of timing. They were sown at the start of June, Purely an accident and an experiment at the time. My pet snails enjoyed a tomato supper and a couple of days later the seeds germinated. I potted them up and on and grew them under glass.
I have no green ones at all. I will do that again next year.
Seeds are still germinating in the tank, I’ll try potting up a few in January.
