Crikey, I haven't got any ripe ones yet. Are these in the greenhouse?

Should apologise - had already added this photo but was trying to start my garden list and repeated a photo I already had oops! Thanks for the compliments though.
Yes Paul they're in a mini greenhouse but they don't taste too good don't think I've been feeding them enough.

Or maybe too hot and they are forced like some you can buy in supermarket!!!!

Maybe you're right Paul. This is the first time I've grown stuff to eat and so far not been very successful. A friend suggested that this is maybe just an ornamental tomato plant??? What do you think? I've never heard of that but what do I as an absolute beginner know :-)

Nor have I Lilymac but it's a case of trying different varieties. Last year I tried one called Glacier with verry little success(although none of my tomatoes were very good last year....blight) it had really tough skins. I've tried another new (new to me) variety this year called Matina. It's a impressive, strong looking plant with huge leaves and nicely developing fruits. We'll see how they taste! But my favourites every year are good ol' 'Gardener's Delight' Easy to grow,delicious (slightly larger than cherry tomato size) fruits and easy to get the seeds!

Oh I've got some of them going in the other mini greenhouse. They've got quite a few fruits but nowhere near ripe yet. Will keep my fingers crossed. How often do you feed your toms then?

Every other watering (for growbags and pots), if I remember. But the ones in the ground only tend to get feed once a week once 2 trusses have flowered.

Right I definitely need to be feeding them more. Thanks again Paul.
