We grew a beefsteak type this year called black Russian, it was so tasty and not many seeds inside, very fleshy.

Old (young) Monty was on Friday saying exactly that about your toms Karen, take off any leaves covering the toms and all under developed toms and flowers and of course they should be stopped by now. What I did not know was that it's not just the lack of heat and sun, but change in light duration that matters. He reckons we have until mdi-Oct then they won't do anything....

Karen:
Yes that's where I saw it, Geordie. Love gardeners world! There was a nice article in the mail supplement about Monty don, he was talking about Nigel. Monty has got a book coming out, might get it. He's just become a grandad too. :)

Jimbo are these toms in a greenhouse or outdoor? I greatly miss my old greenhouse of 30 years, no suitable space for one here, so the few toms we have were grown outdoors and the most successful believe it or not were a few supermarket tom seeds scraped out and put straight into a couple of hanging baskets in June!

Jimbo:
Outside. Three plants in a trough against a six-foot wall.  We didn't think many were going to redden, and were about to prepare to make green tomato chutney. I think they must have heard and felt ashamed!

Yes, it was a chihuahua actually.  We walked passed them today on the beach.  They had it on a lead and it was a delightful character, barking at the sea etc.  I know what you mean though.
