Great selection, Hilda! Grew Sungold last year and found that it did really well here, indoors. :-)

Looks like you had a good year.

Yes, a very good year, except for the Black Russian variety: perhaps we've had 6 of those in all ;-(

I hope my harvest this year is as good as yours!

Hi Lemondog,

I do hope so too!
We normally have a big tomato harvest each year.
We try to keep in mind a few things:
enough space between the plants
add a lot of compost to the soil
plant them deep into the soil
plenty of food
water regularly

We don't pinch out that many shoots.

Let's hope you will be able to supply your whole family with lots of tomato puree ;-)

I'll post a few more pictures of our recent tomato plants (from 2012 and 2013).
Greetings from Belgium!
