Today we had our first, long-awaited tomatoes. They were delicious.
We raised some from seed, but they just didn't put on the growth early in the season, and are miles behind the two plants we ended up buying from a local nursery (where these beauties came from). I suspect these latter plants have also had an advantage in being in pots near the house, where it's much warmer than on the allotment (and less swamp-like...). Next year I think we will buy in tomato plants rather than endure the emotional turmoil of massive seedling failure, as we just don't have the facilities to get them going well - and early enough - just yet.
I'll let you guess which one we found hilarious...
