One tomato from my 100/1000's outdoor bush plants - tasted very good.  :)  Looks like lots more should be ready soon - which is more than can be said for my greenhouse toms.

You're ahead of us Springlands, but the behaviour pattern is the same - outdoor 100s and 1000s starting to fruit, indoor ones, not.

Arygllie - I have plenty of fruit on the greenhouse toms - it is just very green and shows no sign of turning. A very crazy year.

To-days haul - spring onions, beetroot, lots of radish and possibly another tomato (will be in a salad at lunchtime) 3 courgettes.

My first tomato this year (Sweet Million.)

Not actually quite ready (I was only really trying to get a closer look but it "fell off"!)  ::)

Tasted rubbish!

Rest of them are nowhere near ripe but I'm expecting better things soon (so is a good friend of mine for whom I'm growing them really.)  :unsure:

Tried another one today; juicy, sweet with a touch of acid - just how I like them! There does seem to be quite a lot of variation in size though (some of them are quite big for "cherry" tomatoes.)

Still facing a long wait for the beefsteak and plum toms though, and I don't think I'll need to rent a market stall to get rid of them all either!  ::)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

7 courgettes, 3 baby beets (for thinning purposes mainly) 3 types of lettuce, a bunch of spring onions, 3 elephant garlic rounds (which i'm going to dry out and re-plant in november ish) 2 red onions (to check if manky as i have lost a few already) and 3 pods of peas (3 little plant that were nearly decimated by pigeons but i left them in just to see if they would produce) 1 green pepper and 4 cherry tomatoes.

The peas were a big suprise and lovely, my partner, daughter and myself had a pod each as there was not enough to use for a meal.  :D

Apart from a test bulb last week, I pulled the first of the spring planted garlic yesterday as I noticed four at one edge had gone over. Two were not well developed and were mouldy. :( First year growing a spring planted variety, I guess I should pull them all now? I've already decided to increase next years autumn planted crop, so I might not grow a spring planted one again...

I dug up some more earlies-rocket. Had a really good crop. Then my daughter picked some french beans while I got the 1st runner beans.Then some beetroot & gave the chap who gave me 2 huge lettuce some in return. A big bunch of marigolds that were taking over under my munty frame of beans,then the 1st of the red onions.My daughter went back home & turned a lot of it into a delicious veg soup,although she went & bought basil-there was plenty in the greenhouse! & asparagus & baby sweetcorn,very silly at this time of year.She needs to learn to eat what's on the plot

About 30 garlic, a very good harvest to say i just chucked them in and forgot about them :D :D

If you want to be happy for a short time - get drunk.

If you want to be happy for a long time - fall in love.

If you want to be happy forever - take up gardening!
