    OK, I'll give this a go, picked this morning a bowl of Cherry Tom's, Sungold and Sweet Millions, quite proud of my first attempts.





    These are destined to go on Wraps with Mayo and homemade Chicken Tikka.

      It seemed like they were never going to ripen, now the glut of tomatoes really starts. This plate has Shirley, Gardener's Delight, Terenzo and Tumbling Yellow varieties.

      The yellow looks the prettiest and makes a good addition to my daughter's pack lunches, Shirley is lovely and big to slice through for eating in sandwiches, crackers and wraps but the best taste wise are the little Terenzo ones which I eat like sweets - they're a whole lot nicer than sweets

              And when your back stops aching,
              And your hands begin to harden.
              You will find yourself a partner,
              In the glory of the garden.

                We are quite pleased with this little stash.........I do have 100's of green ones though.

                These are - Sweet Millions,Tumbling Tom (Yellow), Latah and ........ermmmm......ermmmmm....I forgot what the others are. I have got some Tigerella growing as well but they are more Rella than Tig.

                    On an extra large plate (32cm across) roughly in rows from the top, left to right are:
                    Black Cherry, Sioux, Cherokee Purple, Tommy Toe, Black Sea Man
                    More Black Cherry, Black Truffle, Paul Robeson, Oxheart, Grushovka
                    Vesennij Michurinskij, Black Russian, Tomanova, Emerald Green Cherry, Black From Tula



                    I also had to rescue all my tomatoes after seeing the first signs of blight, so I picked most of them green and they are gradually ripening indoors. Unfortunately the Tondino di Barletta, Fiaschetto di Torre Guaceto and Urbikany toms started going brown with blight a few days after picking them and had to be dumped, but the rest are looking ok so far. Fingers crossed.

                          Nothing very exotic, but I'm pretty much limited to cherry varieties up here in the frozen North. Maskotka, Galina and Sungold:

                              OK 22 different types of tomatoes grown this year but these are F2 Crimson Crush from seeds saved from the tomatoes off the free plants they sent me last year. It was an experiment, I got plants with two different types of leafs, some had classic tomato leafs, and the others more potato looking leafs. The fruit from the plant with the more classic tomato looking leafs produced fruit with the look texture and taste just the same as Crimson Crush last year.

                              So I already have F3 seeds fermenting ready for saving.
