You really should. It’s so much easier than I thought it would be. I’ve been doing it a couple of years now. I cheat a bit and get the baby plants from the garden centre rather than growing them from seeds so it’s really just a matter of compost and water (and keeping the snails off, little buggers!)
My favourite smell in the whole world is tomato plants. Have lots of good memories associated with those. Well done for growing such a bumper crop – the only time I tried, they died of blight! ๐
They look superb. Just don’t have the climate up here to grow them (and 5 kids would ensure that pretty much none of them would make it to the kitchen!)
Wow, that is impressive! I always plan to grow my own vegetables but I never do – I wouldn’t know where to start! x

lucky you…I have 5 tomatoes this year, and 3 of them together I stood on top of a 50p piece to get a photo of them
Ha ha, well quality is more important than quantity, hey? I’ve got hundreds rippening but they haven’t grown very big either.
Nothing beats homegrown tommy toes!x x
Except your yummy cupcakes maybe? X
Nom ! Love tomatoes – the few I grew got pinched by the dog and kids – think I got 1 !!!
E has had quite a few. He won’t eat them normally but because he thinks they’re a treat if they’re from the plant suddenly he can’t get enough.
Luscious … they wouldn’t even get to the house. My girls eat them like sweeties!
We have scrumped a few!
Very nice! Bet they’ll taste even nicer than they look!
We made a load of them into a roast tomato sauce for our chicken on saturday night. Lovely!
Mmmmm, juicy tomatoes. You just can’t beat home grown. x
I love tomatoes! I might attempt to grow some next year!
Love the sun on those tommy’s. Bet they taste even better for having grown them yourself.
So jealous! Our crop totally failed this year. May have forgotten to water it :-s
how lovely ๐ I love home grown tomatoes ๐
Reminds me to go check my dads tomatoes, they must be ready to eat now. Great photo.
Ooh, they look lovely! Reminds me of my grandparents, they always grew their own toms ๐
Fantastic crop! Juicy and ready for picking by the looks of it!
They look delicious!! Xx
Wow great shot – love the lighting and the subject itself look fantastic ๐

wow! very impressive … we’re hanging around like anxious new parents waiting for our beef tomatoes to ripen. ๐ x
