Next year I'm not planting as many toms... we moved into our house in July and the previous owners had planted about 25 Gardener's Delight plants into the greenhouse. They have staggered some, so some are dieing off now and some are starting to fruit, but the amount of actual toms is astounding!




These pics are of the back half of my greenhouse about a month ago... they were the main fruiting plants and to the right were about 17 baby tiny plants which are fruiting now...
I can pick almost a colander full every day... my family don't live nearby and everyone at work has had their fill, so I thought I would cook with them! I'm definitely thinking that pasta sauce is the way to go!

The greenhouse is full of toms (and the grapevine) and next year I desperately want to grow other stuff (peppers, cucumbers etc)
