Not as many as that, but they're still coming.  The chillis are as prolific as ever.  :) :) :)

looking at those photos makes me seriously jealous of you guys with greehouses and polytunnels. It seems like months ago that we last had toms and chillies (not including the ones in the freezer that is!). Oh well dream on for next years crops  :)

The green tomatoes at the back of the top photo are called "Charlie Green" and are meant to be green when ripe...  ::)

Culled all of mine in early November, still have two big bowls of greenies ripening, but somehow we have managed to eat all the fresh ones as they have been picked and I have none stored this year! Note to self, grow even more tomatoes next year....really!? ::) ;D

i'm also still harvesting, so will be repeating what i did this year, that is, to take cuttings from my outdoor toms in late June and grow them on in the greenhouse to extend harvesting.

i am well pleased to be still picking fresh tomatoes off the plants late november (nowhere close to saddad's amt but enough for the family's needs). my aim was to be able to pick right up till christmas, so its a wait and see if this can be achieved.

I'm totally amazed and impressed and I don't even like tomatoes very much.  :P  so gorgeous looking though.

Just want to know are these in heated or unheated greenhouses?

unheated in a completely unshaded part of the garden which gets the last bit of sunshine at the end of the day right through out the year.

Unheated... mostly from an 8x6... the larger one has finished and the biggest got whitefly badly...
Yes the Spagna beans are as Chriscross described..
