The wrap up

So we had quite a few varieties this year, tomatoes im talkin about, each to their varying degrees of successfulness

Siberian - 5/10 , peaked early but lacked taste.

Purple Cherokee - 6.5/10, took ages, and no yield, but taste was great.

Roma - 7/10, high yield, great taste, made a lot of sauce from these guys.

Green Zebra - 7/10, high yield, good taste, hard to tell when ripe though, being green and all.

Estonian Ox Heart - 7.5/10, decent yield, great taste, unique shape and colour

Cherry - 8.5/10, so many of these little buggers, and so tastey!

Little Sweeties - 9/10, hundreds and hundreds of mini tomatoes, never been so good, so sweet and so tastey, what a tomato!

I don't think I'll try the Siberians again, just not enough flavour, too much like a super market tomato, and taste is what it's all about! 

I've got a big bowl full of tomatoes and a freezer full of sauce, so my tomato days ain't over just yet.

aaaaand were done

Final tomato harvest...😥

Tomato season over

So we've had a pretty good run, as you can see there are still a few Sweeties hangin in there, but these tomatoes are done. I've ripped most out, and now it's time to strip whatever's left and make way for the autumn/winter crops.

Probably one of the best tomato seasons I've had, 60 plants in total, 8 varieties, litres of sauce in the freezer and hundreds of tomatoes on toast....boy it's been a wild ride!

Pumpkins

So I only got 2 pumpkins this year, pretty lame, but will be enough to whip up some soup some time this week.

Not sure what the variety is, might have to google it, might just be an 'Australian Grey' but they are quite wrinkly. Who knows!?

Not sure exactly what variety this is, so can't really say when it's ready, but it looks good!
