Apparently, the entire world is having problems with tomatoes this year. It is selfish and pathetic, but all I can say is, thank God it's not just me! I was beginning to seriously doubt myself, and had started to have sleepless nights, and vexing, vegetable-centred, bad dreams...
Until I came across this article in The New York Times: "For Tomatoes, Green is the New Red" (28 August 2009).
So, I can with pride share a picture of my beautifully under-ripe gems in all their green glory...
So, The D.E.B. and I tried our hand at a bit of "Grow Your Own" and we are only now seeing the fruits of our labours. (Pun intended.)
At last...one, single red tomato...
We spent our Bank Holiday afternoon yesterday celebrating our one, bright, red tomato! And did a pre-autumn tidy up of the garden, and planted some winter pansies in pots and our window boxes. We have had more success with our flowers this year than our veg. But, of course there is always next year.
Autumn pansies for a bit of colour this Winter
