Sounds good. You can take over the picture posting soon eh. I am going to sow a new crop this weekend. Planning to have the new ones in small pots for the neighbours to look after when we go down to Lorne for a week in mid Jan.
Going to be inundated with fruit in a couple of weeks. Gonna have to break out the preserving kit me thinks.

I will be interested to see what you think about the taste of Lime Green Salad, given all reports talk of a nice manageable plant with plenty of fruit.

Had another Sungold today. Lol. That's two. But heaps of fruitset inc. Brandywine Sudduth, Earl's Faux, this and that. Now I just need a Pruden's Purple.

This LGS is a double fused flower thing, hence the shape. All the others on the plants are nice round things. Small plants but they really load up with fruit. I hope they taste good as well cause I love the plant.

Yeh, figured as much. Early double.

Hey, speaking of loving a tomato plant, this year's fave in may patch just has to be Old Virginia. Dark green, finely serrated leaves, without stretching things too far, almost fernlike. Just a lovely one.

Tonight I walked through my tomato patch and thought, Grub, you are a legend. Unless something gives, another great season in store. Heaps of a fruit filling up. Only difference being, this is a late season.

Time for you to take the camera out for a run and relieve me. I will chime in when Gary O'Sena and Brads Black Heart show some colour.
End of school coming down here, so wife, (teacher), is writing reports and my kids are going nuts. Two new kittens sitting on my lap. ITS ALL GOING CRAZY

I will definitely chime in with the camera.

Only thing is they are all green and, unless I'm told otherwise, I always find the green ones a tad ho-hum to photograph.

But I should snap some pics of the Sneezy seedlings and their fruit.

And I want to get one of your NxTT, which is about my height. Lol.

And I have beaut trusses of lots of stuff. And I have been very good with the daco/pyrethrum, so it looks lush.

Give me a week, as I am removing the clothesline which will give me more room. The excuses I have made. new line to be mounted on the wall. Lol.

Well I said I would post again when Gary O'Sena came in. He is the star attraction in the front of this bench pic.



The greens are Grubs green and LGS the yellows Azoychka and Kellogs Breakfast, the other black a Cherokee Purple, the big pinks are Gregoris Altais and Stumps with Kimberlys, Juanne Flammees and Bush Whoppers scattered about. Looks like I may be cooking down some sauce on the weekend eh.

Nice pics, Manto and others. Keep 'em coming, and don't be shy about posting a few larger than life sliced pics.

Don't forget the brutally honest, non peecee taste critiques, either.

Bugger Grub. Those old geriatrics should have to do a test every 6 months. The old bugger is probably half blind.
Haven't tried Gary as yet as he is not quite ripe. The stars so far have been GMG, Aunt Ginny, Momotaro, Stump and Juanne Flammee.
