Thank goodness it's not just our lack of expertise that has caused a slow crop - we've got TWO red tomatoes.... TWO green tomatoes, and a few flowers!! That's it.

hi all havent been able to post for a while as there was a glitch on my computer
toms are ripening very well i am getting 3kg every 4 days or so
as the family are not keen on fresh toms i have been making the roasted sauce and freezing batches as bases for soup, sauces and casseroles
think i will have a go at some chutney

I wish I could say the same we would have had a good crop we had 20 or so plants all got blight and had to be destroyed. We managed to get about 2 good picks from them though.
