Flushing tomatoes

I’m not much of a tomato grower. (Let’s face it, other than beans and potatoes I’m not much of an anything grower!) I have no greenhouse so I have to rely on hardy varieties that stand a chance of being successful on a sunny-ish, sheltered patio. So far my toms have done pretty well this year. They have been well irrigated and properly supported and have grown like billy-oh. The vines are positively burgeoning with fruit – green fruit. Large, promising and greener than a panda’s poop.

See?

But there is hope. Two – two – of my tomatoes are showing definite signs of redness.

With all this sunshine we’re having (ahem) they’ll be ready in about a month or two I reckon!
