Oh dear. We've got 3 plants with about 20 tomatoes on them! May not be time for all to develop fully, but at least half should.

Haha, thanks! What could have been...

I don't think the sunflowers will be getting any taller. The tallest seem to be about 9' 4".

As I understand it there is a new variety of Tomatoes coming on the market for next summer Cameron, from China.

Well, our green tomatoes are ripening nicely in the house. Takes about 2 weeks and they suddenly turn just as you're about to give up.

From 3 plants we look like getting about 20 tomatoes which is pretty pleasing.

The weekend will see us harvest the second of three potato planters.

Harvested the rest of the toms today, potatoes tomorrow.

Edit: one tom was actually ripening quite nicely on the vine, which is pretty good going for November in the North!

More potatoes today. Had 3 good little crops from the planters and will probably try them again next year.

Last of the tomatoes ripening nicely. Mrs N. put them in a paper bag with a banana claiming that "I read it on the internet". Oh, how I laughed!

Now I owe her £5.
