Time to harvest some of the home grown goodies. The tomatoes are starting to ripen and looking promising. Tomatoes don't last long in our house so I've been looking forward to these. The yellow cherry Mirabel plants have been slow to come into flower so we will have to see how they get on over the next few weeks.
The Charlotte potatoes have been a great success - with no signs of damage - unlike the earlier Maris Bard tatties which were attacked by eel worms and wireworms. I'll definitely give these another go next year.

These are 'Big Boy' tomatoes which I bought as plants from B&Q. I also grew cherry tomatoes from seed but these have been slower to develop. A couple of my plants got blight too but the rest seem to have escaped it ;)
