    If those tomatoes don't ripen, use the old trick of putting them inside a brown paper bag and pop them under your bed. This usually does the trick.

    It looks nice and healthy rosa, it would have been a shame to have thrown it out. I reckon you will do well with it there, you might need to nip the top out soon to stop it getting too big.

    Well done, Rosa. Now you can reap the fruits of your labour. I quite like plum toms myself, though this year I've eaten more cherry toms than anything else...
