Just had some Tommys. A bit vit c for winter coming. Regular lemon juice as well 😉
 
I love cherry tomatoes! I eat loads of them. When I find I'm in the fridge looking for a snack I go to the tomatoes.

Same here. Our girls love them as well. We get through packets of cherry tomatoes every week in our house.
 
Good for you both ! 70% water & got vit c. Pretty heathy 🙂
 
We've just picked the rest of ours from the garden today, as it was getting so wet and windy out there. Now have a pile of red ones in the kitchen waiting to be sliced and frozen, and two trays of orange and green ones in the dining room waiting for the sun to come in through the window and ripen them.
 
Oooh yeah...homegrown tomatoes. When my dad died he left us with a greenhouse fit to burst with tomatoes and we enjoyed every last one! Shame I didn't inherit his green fingers...🙄
 
Tomatoes are easy to grow, Bloden, very little needed in the way of green fingers! If I can grow them outside here you certainly could there. They just need to be watered regularly, otherwise the fruit split.

Must be one of the easiest to grow. Water & you will do better the nxt year. Basically they sort them selves out . 🙂. In my book that's a nice tribute to your dad.
 
I planted some 'tumbling toms' into window boxes this year and our 2 year old grandson 'helped' to look after them. He picked them as they ripened, I washed them then he popped the small ones in his mouth like sweets. I hope you can't overdose on them as he seemed to have them with everything. I was thinking of peas next year as I used to love podding them when little but not that keen to eat raw.

I used to love that when I was a kid. Good for you Bessiemay. (am just a big kid now 🙂)

Believe me, I've tried, Dodo! They just don't grow under my care...typical really, cos I LOVE tomatoes.😛🙄

Aw, thanks, Hobie. His apple trees are full of fruit too this year. Best look up stewed apple in Carbs and Cals - mum's freezer's rammed full of the stuff.😛
