Well done Bren and no I am not jealous.

Stumbles away chuntering to give the tom plants a darn good talking to.

I have a flower on one of mine - well, a collection of unopened buds. But they have been in an unheated greenhouse for 8 weeks. I have brought a few indoors to give them a bit of TLC. I've also put 4 into their final positions at the lottie. The rest of the 300 odd are still in the greenhouse. So we shall see what happens.

That's awesome, I didn't realise they could produce fruit while still so small.

Some varieties can =D. I had a couple last year that barely grew to 6 inches high and still gave a crop. Not a lot mind but a crop non the less =D

Pa Snips its a dwarf bush variety for pots and hanging baskets and from the reviews on here they're not that tasty so I'll be using them in soups and passata.

First baby fruits here too: Golden Gem, sown on a sunny south windowsill on Feb 20th, moved into unheated greenhouse in April

Nice one bren....i have flowers and leaves and not much else...and just to echo others No i'm not jealous at all....(mummbles again about sowing toms earlier next season)

[Florence Fennel]

I have some flowers but on the Minibell and they're really small plants. I now have a mystery in that I'm sure I sowed some Sungold, but I can't find them

I think I treated mine a bit mean, they're starting to form flowers, but that's about it!

My Garden Pearls still doing well there's 3 toms now but no sign of them turning red yet though.

I'm sure they're enjoying being out in the sunshine but I still return them to the GH at night.

(please ignore camera date - one day I'll work out how to do it )

[Bren In Pots]

Yours are looking good Thelma I think its time for mine to go into a larger pot.

[Florence Fennel]

Has anyone seen my Sungold? They seem to have gone AWOL

Very jealous, the OH's tom plants are only about 3" high (5cm) and are only just looking like "real" plants.

That said, we don't have a greenhouse - yet!!!

congratulations and enjoy your triumph.

Mr Punctilious says "3 inches = roughly 7.5cm"

T'is good to see these tomatoes doing so well but I'm truly not jealous because everything will happen when it's intended to. I have flower buds and didn't expect that until June at the earliest so happy be the green-clothed archer.
