picked our first plums today, although they look more like a pepper shape, san marzano, made pizza topping for tonight  :P ;D

One of mine, I think the Gartenperle is making PINK tomatoes!!! Rather odd - actually I find they are not that nice, I am a bit disappointed, even when they have fully ripened, they are not that juicy.
But the small salad tomatoes from Lidl seeds are delicious, I have had 4 or 5 of those and some of the Marmandes are just ripening up now (outdoors)

Our first outdoor Krim - better than indoor - 650' up!

My Gartenperle have were pinkish last year. Also not enthralled by their taste but because they were so prolific and unaffected by the b****t and also had an element of mistreatment (erratic watering and and feeding), I'm giving them one last chance. None ripe yet.

So far have picked just two tiny Sungolds.

[Fork]

I think mine have got blight. Woe, woe and thrice woe! There's a plot a few yeards away where a potato patch has been completely neglected for years, and I've thought for a long time that it was probably acting as a reservoir.

[kitty]

thats sad robert-maybe the council should clear that plot-we had someone grow tats on their plot for the 4thyear running-the plot was all taters nothing else and last year thats where the blight hit first-you could see it sweeping across the lottie-then they gave up and this year we have sensible people on there-so far we've remained blight free....

Tumbling toms.Some have ripened on this one and were eaten by my neighbour while we were away........He said they had great taste ::)

[Robert_Brenchley]

That plot's been a running sore for years, but we do at least have the council behind us. Say no more; we've got our eye on the situation there.

As for my toms, I had another look today, and I'm not sure whether it's really blight or the effects of the flooding. If it's blight, they should be rotting wholesale before long, after this rain, so I'll soon know for certain.

Not to good been away for a week and come back to this
