What was I thinking?

well done for keeping so many of them growing. We have 8 toms and 4 pepper plants.

we often freeze them whole and then just drop the into sauces etc as and when needed.

You've been very busy. You'll have no shortage. I love grilled cheese sandwiches with a slice of tomato. Congratulations on your bumper crop.

Well done from me too! Really enjoyed reading your progress. Lovely pics too! I’m also a fan of strong cheese on toast with tomatoes on top…sprinkled with black pepper!

That is a lot of tomato's Klahanie, well done with taking care of all of them, I'm very partial to toms straight from the vine, cannot beat the taste of homegrown, mine are heavily laden but are taking a long time to ripen, consequently I know I'm going to have a glut, no worries though, I learnt years back to weigh them into the correct amounts for my recipes, then I pop them straight into the freezer...

Beautiful fresh tomatoes! They look very appetising..

So many Tomatoes! I only hope my few will ripen this year and not stay green. Perhaps if we have some decent sunny weather they will . . . :o)

Congratulations with your bumper crop. I grew some Roma one year, they developed nicely & then right when they should be ripening they got blight. It was so disappointing,it
put me off growing any toms this year. Maybe I'll try a few cherry ones next year, I do like the yellow varieties. I think some of the more exotic types don't do very well outside in the UK.

That sounds like success to me :)

I had no more than a handfull of small tomatoes the size of marbles :( The worst tomatoes I've ever had.

Thank you, I hope to have better ones then.

Wow! you just answered my question from a previous page. I've been off tomatoes for a couple of years now... used to love growing them... now I grow cucumbers! 40 plants can take up a lot of room! we had two drought periods this summer. we've had a bit of rain recently but not enough as my little stream is almost totally dry. The trees up the hill are drawing all the moisture. You'll have good shoulders after hauling all the watering cans! :-)
