I am really jealous.I made a decision not to grow cherry tomatoes this year I was overrun last year. A big mistake that I will not make again!

Nectar is a bit bigger that the average cherry, but still early. Santa is the other regular we grow.

I'm the same as you Tim, though a bit further north. I picked all my cherries yesterday, but when I went to feed this morning, there was another bag-full
All the others like green bullets.

They look so good Tim, none of mine are ripening yet - it's a race against blight.

My tumbling toms are covered in toms at home but they are still quite a long way off turning red.  I will see what state the allotment ones are in tomorrow.  If blight strikes, it will be a low tomato year for Chez EJ!

My dad's had some funny tomatoes this year, including some full sized ones which reverted to cherry or plum shapes and sizes! Anyone else had funnies? He grew Shirley and Tigerella, and the Shirleys grew truss 1 normally, then truss 2 small, and subsequent ones just weird shapes!
