I haven't got any yet Deltz! Well done you, they look lovely.

Same here, nothing as of yet. Not even close to a yellowish tinge worthy of a picture.
As August wears on, I'm hoping for a scorching September. I don't think I'll be in luck, however.

Chris don't think either AP or myself have got horns but I might have a spiky tail. LOL.

Seriously though the plants will only take up what they want/need but by throwing a little extra at them they are in effect never short of what they need.

I did notice this year that the instructions on B&Qs own brand tomorite actually state that you can feed greedy plants at twice the recommended strength.

Hi Folks yes i have quite a few toms none ready just yet but have a slight problem the the leaves on the plant are all curled up as if they are dieing but the plant is doing fine quite a few toms on it they have been like this for about 4/5 weeks now, none of the leaves have fallen off.. if i have posted this in the wrong place please move, new to site

Mine are the same veg man. Fruits are now ripening, but wonder if the crop will be a short one this year. Guess its my lack of watering that's done it.

I grow Alicante - good taste and reliable cropper - I grow them in the greenhouse.

Well, from 1.2Kg of toms I made 1.5L of pasta sauce. It looked a bit like 'the runs' though, probably due to the yellow tomatoes

Tasted great though, damn I'm a good cook.

Grew Sungold, Gardener's Delight, Bloody Butcher and Pigletwillie's Black. Bloody Butcher good taste, not very heavy cropping. Sungold reliable as always, loads picked and loads to come. GD just ripening. PW's black has got botrytis so I think I'm going to have to pick the toms and finish ripening them indoors.

its all green here in Bournemouth tomatoes in the greenhouse (its just a little lean to) and in pots in the garden are producing plenty of fruit but not a hint of red. Looking forward to the promissed glut - hopefully we;ll see the sun return to speed it up.
