Given the conditions I'd say that toms pre July isn't bad going.

The battery is for scale - I didn't grow that.

Well impressed there BN!

What type are they?  How did you do it?  As PKL said!  An achievement any year and especially this year.  :wave

They are Red Alert - the earliest variety I know of.  They are a trailing type so you just let them go, they are quite prolific too.  I get them planted out quite early and they are in the poly but there is no secret, just the variety really but they do fill the July gap till the others are producing.

Thanks Nick.  It's quite a few years since I have grown them.  I remember that they were good tasting, but not that they were early.  Please remind me next February to sow some.  Very envious - enjoy  :sunny:
