My toms are looking the best they've ever been. Usually the leaves go dark green and are really tough but this year they're more lush and tender looking. The plants have fruited earlier and I took the leaves off from the bottom to the first fruit. It's made it so much easier to water and feed.
I also knipped the tops of cordons before they reached the roof of the GH, so they are at least 1ft shorter.
Peter- it apparently means 'attractive' in the modern parlance!!!!
Funny how houses and gardens can be different in terms of tidyness. I think men often see the garden as their domain but the house is seen as a woman's.....
And now that I've thrown that Victorian suggestion out there....
discuss!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I will not so reluctantly accept the modern parlance. I will take a complement with grace whenever its offered.
Regarding job demarcation. It appears indoors Im efficient but not to tidy in the old sence of the word. My wife admires my greenhouse and ripening tomatoes from the kitchen window when washing the dishes. oops !!!

Hi fairy girl.
My wife would beg to differ regarding my tidyness certainly around the house.
