I've got a red one!

Tomato that is. The reason that this deserves it's own special post?
Last year I got not one. The dreaded blight swept through whilst they were all still green.
I watched Alys Fowler's programme and she said that this year she wasn't even going to try, and I felt the same, but then...
Isn't gardening always like that? A series of disappointments and small victories.
Today was a victory.  I hope Alys changed her mind too.

  1. It's the disappointments that make the victories all the better though isn't it?

  3. Great news, my outdoor toms are blight free too, the first two years was green tomato chutney. We still have 2008 vintage in the store cupboard, haven't started on 2009 yet! Hopefully not this year, all lovely ripe red ones to eat fresh.
