Well, yes, I can. Although, I'll concede that it's hardly a fair contest given you're in Nthn Ireland and I'm in SW France. My outside tomatoes still going strong but there's no doubt that another 2 weeks should see night-time temps too low for them to continue.
Grow lights for early germination;
Blow away on NE facing terrace for hardening off;
Small potager 90sq.m at 300metres
No-dig method, intensive planting and incorporating permaculture principles.

I've still got Black cherry toms ripening, but expect them to be frosted within the next few - considering the forecasts  :(

I picked the rest of mine today, both red and green.  We are supposed to get frost tonight, so I'm not chancing it!

Collected my last few red tomatoes from the allotment greenhouses today, plus a few peppers and a couple of aubergines. And a few just-about -edible runner beans, enough for a couple of servings. Mainly spent time collecting some 100 or so dahlias, as frost forecast for early tomorrow morning - there have been so many of them, for so long, that it's almost a mercy to imagine the 15 or so large dahlia plants reduced to a black frosted mush in a couple of days time, complete with the 100+ remaining partly grown blooms!
(Did I really say such a dreadful thing!?!?  I'm already mourning the departure of the extraordinarily warm and often bright September and October, and dreading the onset of winter, but you can get a bit worn down dealing with gluts, even if it's such lovely things as giant dahlias!)

Still got a few of pounds of a rogue Crimson Crush happily ripening down on The Patch.

One looks absolutely perfect, so if the weather does get too cold, he'll come home with his mates...

Picked my last few tomatoes today from my unheated greenhouse. A couple were ripe but few green to picked them all and called it a day. Surprised to have been able to pick them so late.

Same here, Growster,   I was having a 'tidy up' bonfire yesterday and was going to burn the remaining Crimson Crush plants only to find that they still had viable and ripening tomatoes on them.  I expect the coming cold weather will put a stop to them soon, but meanwhile I'll leave them to get on with it.

Just harvested the last of my San Marzano's from the garden an hour ago going to get a lot cooler at nights now so time to take out the last row of tomato plants quite a few green ones so might make a bit of chutney with those... sighs ... just have to look forward to the spring now but there will still be lots of days when the temperatures hit 20C+ to look forward to before the years end.
