Here is little Bartholomew. He lives in the tunnel now and has been potted on for the final time. To big for the dining room (Area 51).

and a little pic of my earlies again and a question for those of you growing Cherry Falls, i know VC is.

Anyway, my cherry falls has its first flowers forming but its huge compared to the other earlys, twice as big and is looking more like a cordon than a bush, see the armpits forming in the fotos, not noticed these on any other tumbling type before.

I'm no expert on this tomato, but looks like you were given the seed of a different variety to me.

SP what sort of temp' are you looking for /is in your Poly tunnel..???

Ive got tom plants desperate to harden off, but i'm afraid of putting them any where too chilly.
Also Chillie plants, potted on and approx 3'' high, how warm do I need to keep them now..??
All advice welcome as this is my first serious year at growing both.
Gp

To be honest the tunnel isn't even close to warm enough for my tomato at night? But he's just to big for the house with all the chillies I've got in there. He does have a fleece over him at night. It just a case of hope, prey, fingers crossed and sleepless nights with worry .
100% do not put chillies out yet. Especially as they are still small. I have put 7 of my chillies out ( don't tell anyone) again to big after potting on. But they are about 12" high. They are in a blow away in the tunnel with a bucket of water as a heat sink. And the blow away has a fitted fleece over it at night.
Ps I'm completely off my rocker don't copy me

Mine are nowhere near the size of yours, Jack!!
They're more like the tiddly little ones on the left. No character at all yet.

Think im gonna sow a few more cherry falls to find out VC , got a feeling Nick may well be right, these were shop bought tho so be unusuul if so.soon find out

Should have clarified, the Cherry Falls is the central plant, the toms either side are Rambling Red Stripe. Although of a similar hight the RRS has no side shoots at all, the CF has loads.

Yours are much further on than mine.
My Gardenpearl and Peardrops are about a foot high and just starting to grow sideshoots up the stems, as they should.
I think we're through the worst and any plants still with us - should give early fruit - so all good

My balconi reds are indoors today,it’s a bit cold out there & it’s been raining all day,flower buds have appeared Edit added another photo - I just noticed the flowers open on this one

I did some early ones and then did a second batch later.....the later ones didn’t fair too welll being left with my son, just too small to cope with his neglect. Such a shame that he’s too big to tell off! ( though I have threatened turning off the WiFi!) I will need to start some more I think .....

Looking good Scarlet.
Mine are doing fine and I hadn't lost any but no flower buds just yet.
Soon I think.

I have flowers open on the January sown Shirleys and flower buds on the balconi yellow that were sown in February. The balconi red are behind as for some reason they didn't germinate and I had to re-sow. The March sown Shirleys are nearly ready to pot up.

The rest of my tomatoes will not be sown until later in April as they are mostly going outside.
