Rest and Relaxation

A few days of holiday at my uncle's cottage to recover from stressful job hunting and thesis writing.

Tomato Update

I now have at least six tomatoes of various sizes (so that's an average of one per plant!), and still looks like there could be more on the way...

Tomato Watch

I've been looking after some tomato plants for the last few weeks. For a while I had great expectations of a fantastic crop of tomatoes, but they suffered several false starts as blossoms dropped off, or failed to develop. However, I am pleased to report that the first tomato has exceeded 1 cm in diameter; at which point I think it is safe to announce that I will be eating home grown tomatoes within the next couple of months.
