Linda Peppin replied to Deborah Davies's discussion Tomatoes - and what to do with them"Hi,
Like Stephen I use my glut to make passata, just add the things you like into a pan with the tomatoes and boil, then push through a sieve. Tastes even better if you roast the tomatoes (with the onions and garlic if you like)…"

Is anyone growing Sweet potatoes??I tried them last year and was advised not to give them much water as a result the crop was very disappointing, the vines also were quite sad and no sign of any flowers (didnt even know they flowered).This year I decided to try them again, so far so good .... the vines are flourishing and yesterday I found flowers (lovely little trumpet like flowers), so maybe this year I might get a decent crop, will update when I have some news.

Jan Willetts said… - Bad luck on the greenhouse front-my mini polytunnel has been over twice. My husband has now hammered some lengths of wood into the ground, drilled a hole near the top, then attached cable ties through the wooden stakes to the base frame. This works well to anchor the frame but the cover still flaps about a bit even though weighed down with soil and bricks. But it only cost me £20 and I've had lovely carrots, herbs and salads so far with peppers, aubergines, melons and cape gooseberry still to come! Hopefully some of your plants will recover.
