Always late to the party

[rary]

The weather here is usually cold wet and windy, so after moving my tomato seedlings from the propagator I always cover them at night with some fleece until about the second week in May this varies as is determined by the night temperatures working this way usually gives me tomatoes about mid July

I'm not on a hill and I have outdoor plants on the plot and in an unheated GH at home. Picked the first toms (3) last week !!!!
This week the glut seems to be finally happening but it has been hard waiting those extra 6 weeks. Homefully there will be enough now for September and then the remainder will get ripened on the windowsill and made into juice/puree and frozen. By contrast the Chillies are abundent and turning very red.

Ooo-er

Hopefully your toms will ripen in the house? My gh also unheated. Toms sometimes quite big when they get put in there.

I grow my melons, various types, beside and the same as my greenhouse toms, at each end of the rows, as being shallow rooted they don't do well in the middle of the row, grown up a netted or a "ladder" frame to support the growing fruit, given a half decent summer you do get fruit..
