Tomato harvest starting

The tomatoes have started to ripen. The first one is a plum cooking one.


This is s beefsteak variety and a slice cooked well on top of home made beef burger!

But you can't beat a Gardeners Delight in a salad!

I see Monty Don on Gardeners World recommends taking off all the lower leaves. I will have to get to that over the next few days.  I enjoyed RHS Tatton park coverage on BBC2 this week, in seemed like a show a bit less "high brow" than Chelsea.

On the sweet peas front - today I went with all the red ones today!

  2. I've been removing the lower leaves to make watering easier too! I do love the colour of those sweet peas they're stunning! I'm definitely going to grow them with the peas at the side of my decking next year!
