This summer started really well for my tomatoes; I sowed them indoors in March and planted them out just days after the last frost. I bought sturdy, long bambo poles and staked them well.
But, when I came back from France in June my tomatoes had mutated into beanstalks. Then the tomatoes came, the largest so far is almost a kilo, and my sturdy sticks couldn’t take the weight…
Finally; it rained for the whole of August, which drowned the poor little buggers and caused mouldy bottom… So far my main crop is pictured below, there’s about 20kg left on the vines but whether they ripen or not remains to be seen. Better luck next year…
