Front at the end of the season

I love that acer!! Your toms on toast look pretty inviting, too.

How do you 'refresh the pot' for next season Stevie ?
Lovely pictures of a lovely frontage.

Bit sick of tomatoes on toast to be honest ; ) but need to save the pennies but so easy to chuck a handful in a pan

Diane, there's a couple of inches space on the top of the pot so I could top dress it with compost, but I though best to lift it out and put it at the bottom and tuck it around the edges. I was planning to use some very well rotted goat/hay manure which is very fine, mix it with some bought compost and I have some pellets somewhere. Just give it as much food as poss for next season

Its big for a pot isn't it, but looking really great. The whole of the front has matured beautifully - you must be very pleased with it.

Isn1t it amazing what results you can get from pots, it all looks wonderful. Your not going to go short of tomatoes then Stevie, love thinly sliced toms with basil and dressed with balsamic vinegar.

Those "toms on bread looks like smoked meat to me...are they processed? That acer Sangokaku is wonderful.

Stera, yes I am pleased but its been a long haul of pots. Now that I have the back stuff in large bins it should be alot easier to maintain, just potting up stuff in the fron pots, over wintering those then bringing them out and changing them a bit.
Stroller, got a few basil plants so am going to have a go at making some pesto stock n freezing it.
My neighbour offered to do some roast Tomatoe with onion n garlic for a 50/50 split
Kat just in a pan with a bit of garlic salt n pepper n mashed a bit

:-)

Terrific View Stevie ! :-O))

Just added a couple of extra pics : )

Thanks for the Acer help Stevie. I like tomatoes half
sliced, and sprinkled with Muscovado sugar. Takes the
acid out but makes a mess of the frying pan, needs washing every time !
I always have this sugar on porridge, as it contains the
18 nutrients we need, that are milled out when they
wreck it to make white sugar.
