Tumbling Toms.

Spotted to-day,my first tomatoes of the year.

 

It looks like you'll have a nice crop, roders, so enjoy!

Haven't seen Tumbling Toms here but would like to. We did eat our first tom the other day from our plant forced upon us by our friend. It was delicious and there are two more ripe and more to come ...

Even in a country where most toms are local, it's still the smell and freshness of them picked and eaten or just popped in the mouth before you get indoors.

 

Hi roders, did you grow them from seed? We've been picking ours for about a month now but we did cheat, we bought them from a G.C.

 

Hi Caj,yes I grew them from seed,my son gave me the seed on the condition I gave him a basket of plants.I have to say they havn't dried out as often this year for obvious reasons.

 

I've two in a hanging basket, I cheated too and got them from garden centre, we have had quite a few already over past month and there's hundreds of them to ripen off.

 

Tempted to try them from seed next year. One of the plants had the dreaded TMV. When did you start them off roders? Hi, T.O. as soon as the sun comes out I bet they all ripen together!! I see you've booked up for next year. Will probably have a few questions if it's not too much trouble

 

Yep booked again! feels like home from home. Got a week off work in August too but not going anywhere can only afford 1 holiday a year. Have to start playing the lottery again!!

 

Yeah, I know how you feel T.O. We're in the same position.

 

Well done! I have had a WONDERFUL crop of cherry tomatoes, my best ever! I'm going to have the last of them for my supper tonight - AND some more salad from the garden. Part of it is a salad mix from Jekka's Herb Farm, and I have added some nasturtium leaves and flowers, and some garlic chives.

 

Lovely stuff, Leonora, my tumbling toms are still going strong.

 

Still they come........Full of flavor.
Lovely Jubley.
