They are there - honest. Check the extremities
Back Garden Tomatoes
There are two Tumbling Tom in growbags centre stage. Lots of flowers but no ripening fruit yet. To the left and right there are pots with Totem which are now offering the first fruit to harvest.
Here is a close up
On checking my tubs there are some here too. Totem again.
And some Sungold in the greenhouse
And another Totem closeup
Don't ask me yet what they taste like - They haven't been picked yet. I may have gone a bit over the top with this post but I do feel a sense of achievement to have grown and ripened outdoor tomatoes in Scotland this year. There could be a few more to come before the nights close in.
They look amazing and healthy. Totem is also a dwarf tomato? I haven't seen this variety here.
ReplyDeleteYes Totem is dwarf and compact - often on lists of "patio plants" suitable for growing in containers. There is a guy who is really enthusiastic about them here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw2n4Cc35PU Tumbling Tom is described as the tomato you can grow in a hanging basket. Mine are in grow bags. Bush variety doesn't even begin to describe the way they grow, as you can see from the picture! I came across these while looking for varieties to grow in a square foot bed. Totem is the best so far but I am open to suggestions.
