I am having a great tomato year: Early sowed Gardeners Delight in January indoors, planted outside in late April, in so far have had 5lbs of great tasting toms from 10 plants, with vast numbers still on the vine in various ripening stages. No artificial feeding either, just urine diluted 10:1 every month or so. The south facing wall they are trained up is a great boon.
Only issue so far has been quite few split fruit, either over ripe or thin skinned I guess. I pick those off and use them quickly for cooking and sauces. The mice have had a few of the lower hanging trusses too.
I have saved seeds already and really cant wait for next years sowing! Roll on January 2010!
