We planted some tomato seeds in pots on the windowsill back in Feb. We have ten plants and we have a tomato on one of them already! Lots of flowers on the others too. At this rate they will be ripening before I get a chance to get them outside. We almost did the tomato dance - you know, its like the egg dance but indoors.

OMG that is amazing, my seedlings are just peeking out of the soil and you have a fruit already

[Looney]

Wow, that's really good going......my tommy plants are nearly big enough to plant into separate pots / grow bags!

[Egluntyne]

Blimey...that must be the first Omlet "crop" of 2007. Congratulations!

[Tina C]

Actually we have 2 now!

 

I think I need to plant some more seeds so we have tomatoes later in the summer.

Ditto!

I am sure everyone else's tomatoes will catch up! Mine will probably wither and die or drop off or something.

 

I am still excited though (obviously I don't get out enough)

[ubereglu]

Well mine won't!!! I haven't even got hold of any tomato seeds yet! Oh well, I think I'll end up at the garden centre tomorrow!

[Martin B]

I'll send you some Liz.

[ubereglu]

Thank you Martin, you're a star! Your runner beans seeds should hopefully arrive tomorrow!

[Martin B]

They're in an envelope now.

Will post tomorrow!

Quick update - we have a red and almost almost RIPE tomato!

 

We are now squabbling about who gets to eat it! (they are only baby tomatoes so we can't share!

Go on you can cut it in half at least!

Photos now in gallery. Including chickens looking a bit surprised that the tomato wasn't for them....

 

We have some more on the turn now (I do of course inspect them every hour, sad or what).

 

We are off on hols in less than 2 weeks - and we are taking a couple of tomato plants with us. With our purple VW campervan AND our own suspicious looking plants we really will look like wannabee hippies.

 

The house sitter is looking forward to polishing off the rest!

We no longer have a tomato. Layla ate it. She said it was 'a little bit sweet and VERY juicy'.
