I’ve not had a good year with tomatoes. Poor fruiting, blossom end rot (both probably due to erratic watering) and generally not good growth. It may, partly be the compost, which is ordinary Dalesfoot although I see they’ve now introduce a specific compost for tomatoes in pots.
Anyway, the first of the Black Russians is now just about ripe, though there’s no sign of any colour on any of the other tomatoes. But hopefully they’ll ripen in due course … It doesn’t look as though I’ll have an end-of-season surplus of green tomatoes for chutney-making, but there are still several jars in the cupboard so that isn’t a problem.
