Are doing pretty well this year :059: Two of the plants are 'super sweet 100's' and it's the first time I've grown these, but read somewhere they can get to 15ft and have up to 1000 fruits on them :074:

This one truss has about 55 on it alone :D

Yay they look great Tanya! I love tomatoes - good job really 'cause we've got a greenhouse full of em like you! I agree a nice bit of sunshine to ripen em all up would be lovely then all we've got to do is come up with loads of tomatoey recipies to use them up in!:059:

what do you feed yours with?

Long Scottish daylight hours :045: I think it because they are against a granite wall that absorbs a lot of the heat in the daytime and keeps the chill off at night?

I only use normal tomato feed, and have only just started using that, they just seem to get so tall :eek:

I don't grow anything except weeds in my garden!!!
Could be having 5 dogs kind of takes over the whole plot (as its only very small anyway!!!)

My plants are not like that, just got the flowers at the moment. I have had two lots of potato's, one lot each of beetroot, lettuce and french beans and raddish. Cant really say they are doing good this year, but then I do grown all of mine in pots.

I love making tomato chutney.

They're looking great, wish I had a big enough garden to grow veg, but my non-green fingers would soon ensure nothing grew anyway.

My Dad had a huge veg patch and the veg tasted so much better than shop bought, the local kids used to break in and steal stuff, you'd see them walking along the street eating it raw, but my parents didn't mind as it was probably the only bit of veg those kids ever got!
