Indoors, of course!

Most of the cherry type went on a picnic with the Grandchildren.

They look tasty Tim.

I'm surprised you had any to send on a picnic. Most of mine get eaten as I pick them.  :P

Is the yellow one a tomato or a pepper, Tim?

MP - know what you mean, but ours have to come in for a wash - family don't like the seaweed flavour!! And if you look back, there are more each pick than they can eat "on the hoof".

They look scrummy, my mouth is watering wondering what you made with them?
I grew orange Santa last year, great productive plants, fruits were sweet and tasty but I found them quite firm and a little dry, if that makes sense.

Snap!

But firmness is not all bad - sometimes better than pourable fruit, especially for freezing.

Nice picture Tim. It seems to have been a good year for Aubergines-even Moneymaker:-) although Bonica was better. Alas mine are now showing signs of red spider mite but how many can one person eat,process and freeze?
