Well done - they look lovely.

I'm really looking forward to growing some tomatoes next year.  I hope they turn out as well as yours

Well done they look really delicious.  I have been picking Red Robin for some weeks now followed by a favourite Ferline (resitant to blight) the Principe Bourgise (a favourite for cooking and freezing)and last but not least I have had my first Tigrella this week.

Jen, are they just in a cold greenhouse, or did you have heat at the beginning of the season?
I hope you kept a record of your sowing and planting dates, cos i would be really interested to know :)
So that i can do as well as you next year :lol:

They look luscious.  Have only ever tried growing toms outside and have always failed miserably.  But that could be due to me constantly forgetting they are there and forgetting to feed them etc.... :blush: :nowink:  I have officially given up now. :D

Fabulous produce Jen, well done.  My cayenne peppers are still very stunted plants, I am sure I'll see no chillis this year.  I am growing Cherrola tomatoes in the unheated greenhouse and they are doing really well.  Cherry sized and today picked 26 ready for eating, 10 yesterday, so really pleased with this.  The Sungold are not doing at all well, but I shall be patient.

My outside toms are doing wonderfully , tried 7 different types and been eating the first variety (moneymaker) for over a week now.

Red alerts seem to be doing very well to  :)
