        First one from my Red Robbin tomatoes this year, should of had some earlier but the first ones got acidently knocked off. Mrs Scrungee had it and said it was lovely, but any homegrowm tomato tastes good after 6 months of shop bought ones.

            I planted up 5 'Sungold' in one of the greenhouse borders today. Sadly, they're looking a bit 'leggy' due to my neglect (been busy installing a new kitchen). I buried them fairly deeply, so hopefully they'll become more stocky. Over the coming week I'll have to dismantle my propagator and drop down the staging so that I can plant out the other 5 plants, 2 'Black Krim', 1 'Country Taste' and 2 'Gardeners Delight'. Given that night-time temps are still quite low, I've put my heater to use.

              Got a couple of Gardener's Delight and one Beefmaster plant going spare. Anyone want them? If so, I can bring them to Shiney's next weekend.

                My toms have stalled at six inches and show no signs of growing any further.....and that's in the greenhouse. With nothing but rain and temperatures at 10C or below next week, I don't think things are going to improve. :doh:

                            Hopefully I'll catch up with you then as I have a heater set to keep a min of 10C at night in the greenhouse. :blue thumb:
