MMMmmmmmmm im hungry now lol :)

Sandra, your wonderful tom varieties have been a real pleasure to see this year! Can't believe the season is ending - quickest ever (or am I just getting older, lol!?).

Off to make a gargantuan supper, now, having read this!!!!! :-))

i have enjoyed it soo much too. some we will grow again next year a few we wont. which means we can choose some new varieties...enjoy your supper..;-))

A real glut this year Sandra?? Everyone I speak to seems to have. People keep asking each other if they want Tomatoes(they can't give them away) I've given a few away but made two lots of soup and frozen for winter. Will make one more batch if I have time!

just depends on when the night time temps drop. still got a lot of green ones....but we have been very pleased with the project.

I haven't really got many green ones , they all seem to have ripened well outside Sandra!

picked more red ones today Paul. still lots comming behind, they seem to be enjoying this sunshine. but ive spent all day watering pots they were sooo dry. but it was nice to just stand there watching the birds in the hedges.

Our whole area is dry Sandra. it's incredible seeing how much rain some parts of the country have had. My front lawn is brown and bare in many places. Our parks and grass verges are also bare and dusty, even into October. We have had so much strong wind and no rain since Tuesday 15th September (apart from a few spots for 10 minutes last night) Also, we don't even seem to be getting dew on the grass in the mornings. I've hardly worked for the past 4 or 5 weeks. Some peoples lawns, I haven't cut for 8 or 9 weeks. Now the temperatures are droppin g so I'm concerned the lawns won't green up before winter. Never known that before. I need to scarify, spike and topdress/seed my lawn but I can't do it while it's so dry and hard!
Re the Toms, I made another batch of soup today to freeze. I had a bowlfull....gorgeous!!!!!

That is why I enjoy watering too Sandra..good time to meditate ... :)
