Tomatoes Beginning To Turn Red :-)

Mine just starting.

Aren't they a lovely shape! almost heart-shaped with the pointy bottoms! Mine haven't started to ripen yet. I was determined not to do toms this year, then about a month ago, my friend brought me 8 young plants that were surplus to his requirements....so here we are again!!

Clarice, good luck with yours.
Well Karen, you just had to have them. I've always grown toms but the last couple of years have had blight. Grew these from seed, named Fantasia, a highly blight resistant variety ... we will see, usually begins around now.

oh no....don't say that Dawn...it's still so damp and horrid here. I have some lovely toms developing and i definitely don't want blight! This is the best I've ever done with them!

Sorry but I think the blight coincided with damp Summers Karen, that we had here, over the last few years plus I grew my cucumbers in the same greenhouse until this year. I fear I have the spores now after loads of applications of Jeyes Fluid. I have my fingers crossed for us both.

...;)) yes, me too! I am saying my 'anti fungal prayer' as I write! :)))) mm....I wonder if there is a patron saint of fungi...or a patron saint of tomatoes....lol ;) goodnight! x

Mine are looking like that we have had a couple to eat , we haven't had any bugs or fungi so far ,ours have been outside all summer I have even got some in the borders pretending to be flowers and they are covered in Toms ! ........

Ah, the benefits of being so far south Amy! lucky you! :))

We didn't think so when we needed the rain Karen :o))

Never happy are we? lol ;)

Amy, your reommendation to grow blight resistant toms seems to be working ...... So far. Real whoppers too, nice taste. My spares I set outside look good but no red ones yet.

They do look good, ours are rubbish this year......very disappointed.
