Our front garden has a raised flower bed against the corner of the front and side walls. Last year it was filled with a succession of bedding plants.
This year I dug it over and used our own compost that had matured for half a year. That was a mistake. We had put last year's tomato plants into the compost bin with many undersized green tomatoes still on the plants.
We put the spring bedding plants in but other plants started poking up between the bedding - tomato plants. We removed half of them to pots in the back garden before going on holiday. When we returned after a week away the remaining tomato plants were too strongly established to move and anyway we had used all our large pots. We watered and fed our potted tomatoes and ignored those still in the raised beds.
Of course, the ignored tomatoes grew better, stronger and cropped heavily.
We have given tomatoes to our relations, neighbours, the builders, the electrician, the plumber, the passing dog-walkers...
We eat tomatoes with everything. We still have several kilos sitting on the kitchen windowsill and more ripening on the plants.
Our neighbours have replied with apples, pears, plums.
This evening our builder brought four freshly-caught dog fish. They have been out of the sea for about half an hour. My wife is filleting them now.
We'll eat them -
- with tomatoes.

you can make chow chow with the green tomatoes and can them. It is a wonderful pickled relish to eat with roasts and things.

I've just driven 230 miles including a large segment of the M25 (the world's largest parking lot) so that my wife can buy a new greenhouse.
Why does she want a new greenhouse?
To grow more tomatoes.
Arrgh!!!

LOL!
Maybe there are more passing dog-walkers in need of tomatoes? Or did she discovered a new receipt for tomato-breakfast or a midnight-tomato-snack?![]()
