Had 2 sun baby & quite a few sweet millions & 1 money maker from the early experiment. Although I now realise I've made a mistake as to where I've put them in the greenhouse. I've put the early ones at the back on both sides of the g/house & the later sowings at the front(2 rows down each side). So when the earlies are finished it will be a struggle to get rid of the plants.

I've managed to pick about 4lb of sungold these last few weeks.  Getting a good handful every other day.

The other varieties look brilliant but still green although noticed a slight blush on a couple of them, due to the recent sunshine.  I have also chopped off all the leaves up to the second truss to allow as much light in as possible and do think this helps

Lots of beefeater and cherry tomatoes but no sign of ripening. 

I have a handful of plum tomatoes ripening.

Sounds good - don't know how many plants you have but I'm still waiting for the first from mine (not grown this variety before.)

Getting a good handful every other day..

Gosh - think I might be in for an even longer wait for that!  8)  :lol:
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

Same here, Jay!

Very slow in getting to a green fruit even, but these last few days have been great in bringing stuff on, so fingers crossed...

Just checked with my diary (isn't it handy) and sowed my toms 2nd week in feb. I've only got 4 sungold plants but they are always the earliest to crop.

My harbinger should be ready any day now .  Moneymaker and some spanish type still a week or to to go though.

(wish I could say the same about the rest of the plot though.  Its only the greenhouse thats thriving at the mo)

Lots of green fruit in the greenhouse, but have had some ripe ones from the hanging basket Maskotkas, which have been well weather battered.  Not pretty looking plants, but loads of fruit and its ripening, while the greenhouse pampered princesses have yet to do their stuff  :wacko:

That's growing for you  ::)  :lol:

Mine are just flowering now, I had to re sow as my first lot died.
I was put on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things; right now I am so far behind I will never die.

Had a few Brandy Wine and Alkas out of the polytunnel. The cordons in the greenhouse look weeks away yet

I have three bl**dy Butcher plants, Two Pink Brandywine, Three Alicante, and two Shirley plants. I got one ripe BB tom on Monday, two on Thursday, and seven today.
The other varieties have quite a few toms but nowhere near ripening.
