    Yay! The first of my 'Golden Sunrise' tomatoes has finally decided to turn from a sickly green to a promising yellow. What a bumper harvest it's been this year. :sunny:

      Were they grown outdoors?

      Some varieties have been rubbish this year, but at least others have (finally) made up for it:

        I'd spit roast it with an apple in its calyx hole:heehee:

        Got most of mine from the home plot on the window sill, a few are turning red.

          Sort of. they're in a cheapo Wilkinson 'greenhouse' which I've mostly left open. I was a bit late potting them up, which turned out to be big mistake given the summer we've had.

          I was a bit late in planting mine out, but that turned out for the the best as there was a cracking frost here in May that would have completely wiped them out, but luckily I now seem to be getting quite a decent late crop.

          I have a lovely picture in my mind of the ClaraLou family huddled around the table whilst Mr ClaraLou carves the tomato :dbgrtmb:
