at last indeed!
It's the first year for me with a greenhouse, and frankly thank god! The ones, in pots in the garden, mostly cherries, are postively miserable. Not very tall, bushy or with many flowers or fruit on. Odd year to say the least!

Here's the Blue OSU today

well, we ate the 1st Marmande yesterday 8) I think we need some hotter weather for the taste to really get going, but it was still delicious ;D

Looking good... ;)
What does Blue OSu taste like?

You are making me sooo envious. Mine are tiddly little things (including marmande). Don't kow what happened this year as I started them early.

To be honest the ones outside are, by and large, looking miserable, some have lots of foliage and no flowers, others have barely any foliage and no flowers, so to sum up hardly any toms on the outside ones in pots :'(

Meant to add I've yet to try the Blus OSU's, hopefully tomorrow, some of them seem to be fianlly ripening up... cross fingers ;)

Bloody butcher wins this year, ate the first two ripe ones today. Violet Jaspar and Kenilworth are going to be next by the looks of it, the others remain steadfastly green..... ::)

Latah, grown in the greenhouse. First time I've grown this variety but it won't be the last - it's delicious!

Todays tea.. ;D

This is what I'm really really looking forward to..they've been growing so well and the fruit is huge..much bigger than I realized they would be.
Not ripe yet..but looks promising..

I'm trying to eat the screen here! ;D 8)

I've got loads of fruit on that is still green. Some plants haven't done much yet for some reason. Managed to nobble a few sweet million and several black toms that I'm not sure what variety it is as I can't find the label.

I do know I have sungold, sweet million, totem, cherokee purple, ananas noire, black krim, principe borghese, black russian, san marzano, lemon tree, yellow tumbling and possibly black cherry

..toms...munch munch, slurp, burb..ahh..lovely..much nicer than eating screen...you should try the real thing instead..
This is first proper lot so far..I've been picking bits and bobs for few weeks now . I still got loads of green fruit and varieties that are yet to ripen even the first one.
I picked a idea from Ian Pearson and under planted some tomatoes with Oca..for some reason those toms seem to be doing better than others..must be good partnership going on.
Now I just have to get some seeds sorted..never ending jobs.. ::)
