Congratulations Hawthorns. My first cherry toms are still the size of fleas. So treat still to come.

Wow lucky you - I just have a few flowers

Heck, well done that lad! I console myself that you are down in Wiltshire but I'll catch up eventually! I think my first to ripen will be Golden Sunrise - they are swelling up a treat and begining to look light in colour. Can't wait - it's a sort of ceremony here - half each of the first tomato.Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

Well done Hawthorn!
I've had my first Bloody Butcher tomato this week, which is particularly pleasing as they have been outside since late April. The plants themsleves look terrible, unfortunately - they've obviously given their all!!
This isn't the norm - there are only a very few early fruits ripening on these and the Golden Sunrise - but it's interesting that you can get some early ones if you put in the effort early on in the year.Comment

Yay!
I've a fair few green ones an dlots more coming, but only one that looks as though it's starting to think about ripening. It'll be a little while yet I think for meWarning: I have a dangerous tendency to act like I know what I'm talking about.

My first one (urbikany) fell off the plant a couple of days ago and was still slightly green... luckily it has ripened up anyway so I'm going to eat it later in a salad with a mini-white cucumber. I hope it still tastes okay.pjh75
