Phew! Me neither, loads of flowers though. I sowed rather late this year so it's not really surprising I suppose.

I have 2 tiny tomatoes on my plants so far (which a lot more than last year) I haven't harvested any yet but they only went to the allotment about 2 weeks ago. There are 12 Gardeners Delight and I have 4 Shirley as well.
Whatever it was I didn't do it but if I should have done then I have!

Got about 70 toms on 3 tumbling tom plants (and one is almost ripe!). Then a small smattering of toms on the tigerilla and brandywine plants.

I have 15 different varieties, some of the plants are 6' tall, others abut 4' - most have little tomatoes on them but none are ripe yet.  I'm glad I'm not alone!

TGG - are yours indoors or out? Outdoors one assumes, since this is not in 'Under Glass'??

Salt? Well - indoors, one hopes to get 8 lb per plant in a whole season!!
