I'm looking forward to picking this later today  :toothy10: first of my cherry tomatoes in the green house, picture taken yesterday. Sown mid January, been out in the greenhouse about a month or so. It's quite a bit ahead of the rest but I did pot it up a bit before the others which seems to have made a big difference. Yum yum roll on summer  :happy7:

That's amazing Jayb.
Mine are still in little pots :BangHead:
I'm thinking of growing in smaller pots and keeping the plants smaller-well if they ever grow! so that they fruit.
You are an inspiration!

One of my favourites Sungold F1,  it's always about the first to ripen. Not eaten yet, my treat for later in the day  :happy7:

Sungold! - no need to ask what it's like, it will be delicious!  It's my favourite too.

Not to be outdone ---------------- these are my over-wintered Sungold. I've already eaten two very small fruit which admittedly had extremely thick skins. My small leanto GH is unheated so it was a surprise that the two plants survived - if somewhat straggly. The best part is that I now have 4 potted up side shoots which are doing well and at no cost!

Wow! They are ahead well done!

I was impressed some of mine are flowering!
Just built a mini greenhouse for them to go outdoors in, hopefully keep the blight off them.
