Cherry Toms

I didn't know you could grow tomatoes that way! I once grew peppers (capsicum) from a supermarket one. I dried the seeds out and planted them - and they grew!! They fruited too - amazing.

maybe i can work it out ~ its a m---------sons tomato? or could it be a s-----------y's tomato??

That's exactly what I did Sheilar

M....sons Shhh!

One very small but very important point - Do you think we'll have enough sun to turn it red??! :D

That's a very sore point Ptracey...I binned them all last year, never got one to ripen. :(

Hire a sun bed!! lol

How are your Apples doing Sheilar? and more important..Have you heard from Tommyshortlegs? I have not seen him.

green tomato chutney??

i have been wondering for a few days about tommyshortlegs, didnt know who to ask, i hope he is ok.

Does Louise see him on Ispyabird ? I will ask now.

thats a good thought, i havent been on there for ages.

It's a bit early yet for the apples, but there was plenty of blossom on it earlier in the year which is a good sign. The more blossom, the more apples. They're not normally ready for picking til about late August/early September but they're starting to form now.

Now you come to mention it, I haven't heard from Tommy for a while. Do you think I should send him a PM and make sure he's OK?

I still have loads of Green tom Chutney from the year before that BTW !! Done I hope all is ok..He was poorly.

Yes please Sheilar...You are his Favourite! I have just sent a Pm to Louise1 to see if she knows anything.

i hope he is ok too.

How satisfying is that - to grow a tomato plant from a sprmrkt tomato! Hope it ripens and that you'll have the pleasure of eating it :))

both Sheila/Sheilar's on one page... There should be a prize for that :))

Well Pimp, two Sheilas are better than one!! lol

;))

Looks like a goosegog!

Brilliant i thought that too Grandmage ;)

Pimp, Have you tried putting a banana with green Tomatoes to help ripen them?

What is all this about Tommy? I hadn't heard anything. I knew he wasn't well back in the winter, but nothing since.

Morning G. Tommy usually pops up a bird blog each month even managed one from hospital once...but not heard anything since April, so it's fingers crossed.

Morning, Pims. Oh, I see. I thought someone had had some news about him. In a way, no news maybe good news then. Fingers crossed.

Morning Pim ...
Hmmm. ... good photo ...
... looks like the rare "Shrek" tomato ..
Congrats on growing this unusual variety. ;o)

Good Morning TT... I had the national collection of Shrek tomatoes last year...;))

I tried that Ptracey with no joy..:( I did notice that after I gave up, everyone elses toms seemed to ripen up..lol

Mine didn't ripen!
I put 6 tomato plants out last week and something ate the lot! Lucky I have 4 more in the poly shed and one in the garden.
Last year I had a wonderful yellow cherry crop, self seeded in the gravel. Result!

Good idea,Pimms..I might try that myself next year..I get some sweet cherry toms from A..i, lovely flavour..
