  1. Picked up a out 7 plants on a whim looking on Gumtree someone was giving them away.

    Just had my first fruit come through today and I am chuffed to bits!

    It is a very fulfilling feeling, yet I don’t like tomato lol

    Good thing my wife loves tomato soup 🙂

  2. How much did the seeds, compost, pot and fertiliser cost you? I’ve never managed to grow stuff cheaper than the supermarket, but maybe I’m just bad at it!

  3. Tell ya…it’s a moment, your first tomato. It’s like a completely different fruit. This could be the start of something beautiful. Lotta tomato geeks on YouTube.

  4. Poor thing barely has any leaves. Next year don’t prune the leaves, just the shoots that come out between the leaf and stem.

  5. Congratulations.

    Would you swap half of your tomato harvest for half of my strawberry crop? (Two medium + three small berries. The blackbird has pecked all the others.)
