I got these free on freecycle, they were in a bit of a state at the time and I haven't really researched much on what to do with them.
The only one with a tomato so far is the one which I put some ketchup around the base!

Oh and the wide-angle photos do make them look a bit more impressive than reality Smile.

The past 2 years have been a disaster with our 'tommys'.
This year we took the advice of our next door neighbour and planted a mini low growing variety in hanging baskets.

They have been marvelous .... and have supplied us with lovely smelling/tasting tomatos for the past 3 weeks.
(cant beat the smell of a proper tomato)

No, mine, which are taken with a (35mm equivalent) 24mm lens, generally considreed 'ultra wide angle' as you can't go much further until you get fish eye. This gives the impression the plants are a lot bigger than they are in reality - the human eye is the same as a 50mm lens or so.

I've only had mine for two and a half to three weeks and they were still in the pots from the garden centre when I got them, so not holding out much hope right now.

Tried to grow some 'Toms' in the geenhouse we inherited when we bought this place, what a 'kin disaster, so many of 'em ended-up with 'Black Bottom' so decided we'd bin the lot and bollocks to 'em. Asda suited us nicely.

Well i'll give you one thing, your garden looks a hell of a lot better than the first time you posted a picture of it, i'm actually surprised.

I have a strong dislike of tomatoes on their own, in cooking they're ok. Eating a whole cherry tomato is, to me, a very horrible experience so I would never grow them. I feel left out of the veggie threads, I don't like tomatoes and chillis serve no purpose other than causing pain and discomfort so I opted for more palatable things.

Butternut squash which are doing well and about to flower, sweetcorn and a heck of a lot of it but has had some unexplainable issues lately, possible pests so not sure if it's actually going to produce anything but it's still growing rapidly so I think there's hope.

No Tomato’s – but we’ve put a veggie patch at the bottom of the garden (thought it’d be nice for the daughter to see where food comes from, not because we like gardening!)
