A sage about tomatoes

The tomatoes have trusses developing and flowers appeared. I was quite letting planting these this year and my greenhouse is some what in the shade due to being next to some large trees, but the plants are doing well

This flower is on a tomatoes variety called "latah" which is an early type and when i grow it normally it does ondeed produce tomatoes very early indeed



This variety is gardeners delight


The sage plant is still in a 9inch pot and doing very well





Weather report - Sunny all day and generally very nice, Wakefield, England

The strawberry of the year... first of many

The strawberries are starting to ripen. This is my first one. the bird bet me to the other one, so I have now netted them now


It tasted sweet


The tomatoes are growing well in the greenhouse. This variety is "Gardeners Delight". No trusses have set yet


The melon plant that Emily has sent me is doing well to, I think. It has a flower on, so that is good. I think the variety is blacktail mountain... I think

The chokes are coming and the grapes are growing

The Jersusalem artichokes are growing very quickly and must be 3ft plus maybe 4ft already. They seem to be jumping out of the ground. I have some more at my Fathers garden that are not as sheltered and they are not 12inch yet despite being in a much sunnier spot



I have some tomatoes in the greenhouse, this variety is Gardeners Delight, a cherry variety, I love cherry toms, they taste great and can be picked and eaten straight from the plant in summer, the variety in the background is one called latah, that is known for being very early, I usually grow latah and find it produces tomatoes many weeks before anything else is any where near ready


The grape vine is growing nicely. plenty of foliage on, some of the foliage I have nipped back. It has 4-5 bunches of grapes on to. I have cut some of the grape bunches down this week by nipping the ends off

This is the third day I have been unable to access my garden forum.
