Next year I will do better with much bigger stakes and netting and pruning daily. Haqve to remember the taste and make myself do that. And maybe I will experiment with a few different seeds. Next eyar ... now all I have to do is make oodles more sauce....

looks yummy Richard, I had a few diff types this year, cant remember the names, would have done better if I had of staked them properly, oh well always this coming season I guess , but more than enough for us and give aways 
My basic weeding rule: if they grow in rows they're flowers;
if they don't they're weeds.

i really love the look of orange tomatoes.
unfortunately...i've not found one tasty enough for the tomato lover in the house to allow me to grow again.

Tessa have your grown cherokee purple before? It's a beautiful tasting tomato, I haven't managed to grow it all that successfully yet but I am tomato challenged  but the ones I did harvest were really nice. I have some seeds if you want to try it.
medbury what are those lush looking grasses behind your last tomato pic, LOL, sorry I couldn't take my eyes off them! |

I am totally overwhelmed by the number of different types of tomato. I have a few just coming into fruit - very late this year because we had such a cold Spring. I can't remember all the varieties, they were sent from Cosmic in Tassie. Imur Prior Beta and Sweet English are 2 of them. Black cherry is another. Oh I'll have to go and look at the labels............Purple Calabash, Wapsipinicon Peach, Black Zebra, Mortgage Lifter, and a couple who have carelessly lost their labels.
We've had lots of volunteer Tommy Toes and Cherry toms so far, looking forward to the rest!
