Not posted for ages... went on holdiay and came back to a greenhouse packed with foliage... in fact it had burst through a gap at the top and two plants were about 8' high.... I don't mind asking my neighbour to water my tomatoes, but didn't think I could go as far as asking him to keep them pruned back!
Anyway, not too much damage, and all are now well thinned out.
The Brown Berry is very productive, with 5 very good trusses. Had three or four tomatoes so far, but two full trusses should be ripe in the next week or so, I hope. One thing I would say it that this is listed as a cherry tomato, but some of the tomatoes are not far off golf-ball sized.
The four Currant Sweet Pea plants are a bit out of control, although the lower trusses have ripened well, and the tomatoes are deliciously sweet. But as the neame suggests, they are mostly very small, pea-to-marble sized.
The two Garden peach don't seem very productive, but were a bit 'assaulted' by the Currant Sweet Pea plants while I was away. But the first tomatoes are about to be picked, and I have to say, it's a lovely looking tomato - large and yellow with a faint pinkish streakiness.
And the two Lemon Plum have dozens and dozens of tomatoes on, but they look a long way from ripening.
The only real let-down is the bush variety by the back door, Tiny Tim. This has been the best place for this type of tomato in the past, with a couple of very productive varieties grown over the last 4 years, that give a non-stop supply of tomatoes from July to September. But this year's plant has not produced that many tomatoes (lots of flowers, but many of them dropped off) and so far only three have ripened, while several have started to split.
