manicscousers · « **Reply #3 on:** July 21, 2010, 21:53:50 »

We've been picking Sungold both greenhouse and outside and the occasional Blackcherry which are difficult to gauge I.E. when to pick ?

My outdoor toms get blight every single year, so this year i'm going to try and take the toms off green and ripen them in my plastic cold frame before blight strikes....hope it works

We have been eating toms for a month now.Some majorcan ones and some ledgend. Picked some yesterday evening and while we were talking to someone at the plot Tone sat on em. I said "Oh dear" NOT

I've been harvesting Aurora (realseeds) just a couple (fat ones though), every couple of days, from the plot for just over a week here in SW London.

I don't see a single other ripe tomato on the allotments, so I'm thinking it's a good choice for an early outdoor crop - but I want to try some others next year so I keep scanning this thread.

Its so fab to at last to be eating yummy tomato salads after such a long wait! yum and that sunshine yesterday just added some needed sugar to the taste. Its what it all about!

most of mine that are ripe are sungold but the GD are catching up now brilliant!

Picked the first of my outdoor Toms today - Whippersnapper. As good as ever and will soon be giving them away no doubt. Minibel and Micro are not far behind but Gardeners' Delight (a first here and probably a last - cordons don't make a lot of sense in a small garden) are miles behind.

The packet said GD's but must be a tumbler,but who cares as I'm into my second week picking them.

manicscousers · « **Reply #17 on:** July 25, 2010, 14:25:41 »

tumblers are coming thick and fast now, marmande performing well, only had 3 or 4 off the tigerella and the plum, cherokee orange banana and green zebra are far behind :)
they are all loaded with fruit, just not ripe, I think they're waiting until we go away in august ;D

Every year about this time and for a few weeks I get heartily fed up of tomatoes,and basil and courgettes.

Yet should I still be here come the winter I will look at them in supermarkets and complain at the price
