TUMBLING TOMS AT LAST
It has been an awful year for my tomatoes, Tumbling Toms. I have four: three red and one yellow, and they have only just started yielding fruit. The reason is that we have had weeks of cold and wind and rain high up on the Pennines where I live. Sunshine alone is not enough for tomatoes, they have to have heat. Last year was pathetic too but I had hopes for this year, hopes that it would be the same as 2010 when I had so many tomatoes off three plants that I was having to make soup with them and give them away.

When you compare the above images with a photograph of one solitary tomato plant, a red Tumbling Tom, taken 8 July 2010, you can see how relatively disappointing the tomatoes have been this year. Maybe they will get a spurt on. Forever the optimist.
