Been picking tomatoes today, first 6 weighed 4lbs!
Ok I know they were the beef variety but these didn't have hooves on!

You're so fortunate being further south, and therefore able to grow decent sized beef tomatoes. Mine end up on the puny side.

Still, got loads of cherry tomatoes, both orange and red ones, so I'm happy.

My tomatoes are really struggling at the moment, :cry: not enough sun, :cry: like last year. When they eventually come I am hoping they last till December, like last year :-D

There'll be a few alchemists who'd be very interested in your trees, how did you do it?
