Outdoor tomatoes - still

I've still got a couple of outdoor tomato plants that continue to grow merrily. Anybody else? (Except Olive View...)

:shock: No way, where do you live?!! I kept mine alive until a couple weeks ago and picked all the fruit, only to realise after a few days they were all blistered (?) at the tops from being exposed to the varying temps we've been having and had begun rotting on the vines. :cry:

ours came out 10 days ago as they were going mouldy and yucky.....

are you getting some strange heat wave that the rest of us aren't??!!

There's still a few greenhouse ones going on our site but no outdoors ones at all.

My Moneymakers are just about still going but with frost forcast tonight I think that will be it, but I cant remember the outside ones lasting this long. Must be this global warming!

Just in London. Only one plant left now - under the elder tree, a load of chutney made this week.

Sorry James I have no tomatoes growing!!!

Sons housemate had loads still on his plants in the garden in Exeter 3 weeks ago, not sure about now though.

a few folk on our site have some toms still outdoors but seing as weve had some frost in the last week i cant see them lasting any longer.we had the last of ours weeks ago ,i really begrudge buying them now though.

I refuse to buy tomatoes between late November and June.

I also cannot bear the sight of one... Or at least, not of the horrid supermarket tasteless ones. They're still hanging in there on that last plant, and still ripening. T&M's tumbling Gartenperle is the breed.

its our first year and we were rather tentative and underplanted.planning on having a load next year though.will try to freeze some as well.

We just have a few ripening in the greenhouse and may yet try Muntjacs green tom reciepe.The freezer is now bursting with this years produce and we have enough roast toms to keep us going well into the new year.

Mine are now in the big tomato heaven in the sky, had a frost the other night which just about finished them off. Roll on Spring

My Alicante tomatoes are in growbags - the ones on the allotment are knackered, but I have one bag against a south facing wall of the hovel which is still going strong. Finally, after all the non-ripening.....
