Mrs Frugal Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 They look lovely, Laura - what variety are they? They look a bit like Gardeners Delight? Mine have been coming for a while now and they're lovely. We grew three varieties this year - yellow Tumbling Toms, Money Maker and Gardeners Delight and they're all doing well, particularly the old reliable Tumbling Toms. Runner beans have been fab too! We've managed to have a good serving every day for the last few weeks. Delicious!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley-Jean Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 There is nothing quite so fabulous as a fresh tomato off the plant. Mmmmm... I can just smell it now (and I haven't grown any) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 They look lovely Laura, I bet they'll be absolutely delicious Somehow no bought tomatoes, no matter how fresh or organic or whatever can ever taste as good as home grown. My tomatoes have hit a disaster this year- they were doing so well, small, and unripe of course, but growing well and looking good, then we went on holiday and MIL, who moved in for pet & garden care duties, remembered the grow bag of toms on the patio.... but forgot all the rest. So they all died through lack of food & watering. I'll be lucky if we get a dozen home grown ones this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 They look good. My tomatoes are growing well and definitely growing bigger than the cherry tomatoes they were sold to us as. Problem is ours must be a late vatriety and are still rather green and solid. My runners are starting to produce beans, but they are only about a cm long!

The Dogmother Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 My Roma toms are still green. Does anyone know if they are a late variety? Lovely pix Laura and Kate, made my mouth water. I'm going to do runners next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Phil's Dad gave me aplant. They are plum type toms and we have plenty but they are all still green - should I leave them on the plant to ripen or bring them in to pu on the windowsill? Perhaps I should call the outlaws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
