a new tomato record?

 

i'm putting up my hand as winning the record for tomatoes this year - i.e.
the record for the slowest-ripening tomatoes!!

i have romas & (self-sown) tigerellas growing, & to date have not had ANY
ripe ones!! there are one or two that are thinking about turning orange.

without wanting to brag, this is surely impressive by anyone's standards

I have about 30 Roma's all still green.  The bloody birds are watching them
closely.

 



I have lots of romas. The bloody fruit flies are watching them closely from
the inside.

 


birds & possums (?) have been watching mine from within and without.
actually, now i'm starting to wonder if i'll get any at all!!

Sliding deftly from tomatoes to eggplants (NB: still within the genus!),
my Thai eggplant, that have been throwing me a few now and then to toss
into a green curry or laksa, have had fruit disappearing suddenly
overnight. Last night, I actually heard rustling as I passed the door
near them, and this morning there are no fruit to be seen. I suspect
either a rat or a possum, as there are both about at the moment. Grrr.

I reckon the same creature was having a go at my jalapeños too, but
didn't get beyond the skin. Ha! I only hope it enjoyed it as much going
as coming.
