I've only got flowers so far, and not on all of the plants. So I don't know what's going on. I think I had poor quality compost though, as a lot of my seedlings have been very small and slow this year.

I have 3 trusses set with fruit on the Tamina in the GH (some of the fruit are 1.5" already), 2 trusses on the GD and Shirley, also in GH.

In the garden I have fruit on Sweet Million and some of the above mentioned varieties.

Just got a few flowers on some, putting it down to late sowing of seeds. They do look healthy so will wait and see. Yours look great to me.

my tigerella, cristal and sweet olive plums have all got fruit on a few plants.  Others all have flowers - but they were a lot further behind your plants (I think you had planted yours into buckits when mine were only just big enough to be pricked out)

Started to remove the bottom leaves on Sunday to help with air circulation

Yeh yours must have caught up very fast. Just wish the nice weather would hurry up!

We were given some plum tomato plants so we thought we would give them a go with our usual toms.

These tomatos are huge, I am wondering if she give us beef as the tomatos are about 3" in diameter and have not yet ripened. God only knows what size these are going to be when they turn red.
