Johhnyco, you sure that's 1 truss. Looks like 3 to me?

I prefer a slice of lemon in my Gin not a slice of tomato. :drunken_smilie:

Is that dark tomato Black Russian or is it suffering from  'Greenback'?

I've not had one courgette yet from my plants. Only male flowers so far. How can I encourage them to mate!


By hoping for female flowers to come eventually.  We had our second courgette today.  Except it was hiding and has turned into a big marrow.  But the next one will be in a couple of days.  And I am located south of you.  Hope you are getting females soon.  :wave:

Wow do you have a greenhouse? We have had a warm summer but my peppers and chillies are still green and the butternuts nowhere near ready (not to mention the one that OH knocked off the vine, sniff sniff).  We have a load of tomatoes, I have made 4 huge jars of sauce and tonight I am going to pop some bags in the freezer and make some passata in jars for winter. My OH did go mad with the toms though, I think we must have near 40 plants, in the veg patch, in the front garden and in a big pot! Next year I will hide the seeds from him!!!
