      I have just been feeding mine and was about to ask the same question. Loads of flowers but very little fruit...is it too late in the season now to expect anything?

          Well, Rusty, you've got two more than me!!!
          Plenty of decent size fruits, all dark green, not a hint of any on the turn ...

            I hate to say it but i have had abs bsolutely loads.I sowed the seeds on Feb. 6th. My greenhouse is down under a south west facing wall and it is a real suntrap. My outdoor ones in containers have done quite well as they are sheltered under the same wall as well but the ones in the open garden are slow. The only ripe one there is Black Cherry.ż

              Picked our first today. I'm impressed that no-one has posted blight photos yet.
              We normally have all had warnings from BlightWatch by now.

                I think some people may get a blight alert tomorrow. We have had full Smith criteria here today and for places that stay damp over night that could well develop into a full Smith period, or as near as makes no difference.

                  Same here. We had a near miss on Smith criteria on Wednesday, too. Time to be vigilant.

                    I don't know what I've done right this year but I have loads in my tomato jungle.

                      I think this year early sowing has paid off, in a good year the later plants will probably catch up but now this year, I sowed like you in February, probably more luck than judgement but im glad I did.

                          I have had three or four from a basket with tumbler in it, (recomended by Potty to whom I send my thanks) also several sungold, I have been feeding them with a comfry,seaweed,worm juice tea as I thought I would avoid any proprietary feeds (avoid buying them) perhaps not the best year to try this but have a lot of green tomatoes and no problems with them even with the high variences of temperature
                          it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

                            Just got back from 2 weeks away and picked 6 red tomatoes. 1 Ocado the rest Tamia. Got some indigo which I've never grown before, do they go completely black when they are ripe. Still got loads of green ones. And not a single ripe tumbling tom yet.

                              I managed to pick 13 very small plum and 4 large this morning and made a very tasty but nothing like normal soup.

                              Not only are my toms small but the taste is not as good as it should be.
