If you grow tomatoes…

I think I may as well bin mine.
I usually have tomatoes until about November, too.

This year, zilch.

I always grow many more tomatoes than I need, both in the greenhouse and outdoors. This year I have grown four plants indoors and six outside in pots, growbags and raised beds. I usually leave them on the vine as long as I can, some are still ripening at the moment. I either use them fresh or bottle them whole and also make loads of tomato sauce for pasta and bottle that. I keep an eye on the weather forecasts and if frost is forecast, I pick them all and try to ripen them indoors. If all else fails, green tomato chutney is a good standby!

TBH I’m amazed at how well these (only 2) plants have done - I just stuck them in a bed with empty spaces, haven’t fed them at all. One of the initial pair was almost immediately stripped to a bare stalk by slugs*, the other (from Asda) was an Alicante, and would seem to be exactly the same as the first.

*I soon went to war with those, courtesy of beer traps! Which worked astonishingly well.

I don't think that I'll solve World food problems with my fruit , salad and vegetable growing talents .
There is one tomato on my plant !
