Not having trouble with my 'stopped' toms (so far) Tim. Praps cos I'm She Who Must Be Obeyed in my garden ??? But there again, praps it's because I've only 7 toms in the 'house and another 10 or so outside, so manageable and get inspected daily? My aim this year is to get all ripened and picked before I go on hol end September, so I'm being particularly vigilant - and ruthless in my 'stopping'. Freezer already heaving with fab. tom crops - swings & roundabouts....no runners to freeze yet :(
