Tomatoes
We’ve never had much success with tomatoes, but we tried again this year. We’re not proper gardeners, so bought a couple of plants and after a very slow start they started producing flowers and then fruits.
We have had more ripe tomatoes from the dwarf ‘Veranda Red,’ while ‘Sungold’ has grown tall and stately and was later in ripening its fruit. Both of them produce cherry tomatoes. Veranda Red has tomatoes ranging from cherry to marble to blueberry-sized tomatoes. Naturally, the very smallest have little or no taste, but they amuse me.
I like the colour of Sungold tomatoes and they taste delicious. I don’t think all the tomatoes will ripen now, but I’ll keep them going for a little while longer while I look up recipes for green tomato chutney, which I will probably never make.
