    I have one fruit  starting to ripen - it's in the kitchen, on a south facing windowcill, which gives you an idea of how cool it is up here.   Think I may have to wait a while for the ones in the growhouse image

    You're right though cornelly, they taste great - especially when you pick and eat them warm straight from the plant. image

    Our tomatoes are going crazy, we have more than we can eat so I've been making sauce. They do seem to dry out a lot so I've sat both containers in large buckets and they seem much more happy like that. They are also in direct sunlight all day.
