first tomato
Picked the first tomato of the season this morning.
The variety is Harzfeuer, a Lidl special. It is early, prolific (8/9 good size fruits per truss) and the taste ain't bad. Mild but not insipid and best of all, it didn't have the horrid thick skin that supermarket toms seem to have.

I'm envious, it looks good
I have a few varieties, bush type, cherry and normal
Plenty on the bush but none ripe yet
If it goes on too long without ripening, I'll stick a banana in to help them ripen

Mine aren't ripening, but we haven't had much sunshine lately, what do you mean about the 'banana' Darren? how does it work?

You might as well leave them and cross your fingers unless you desperately need the space for something. I assume they are in their final positions and not pot-bound in small pots.

I have resown gherkin seed today, outside cues / gherks are suffering in some parts this year. I should have gone to "Debbies Deli."
