So, here they are, the tomatoes Luke has raised from seed, grown in the conservatory and planted out in rich, dark compost. The tomatoes he has fed with tomato feed, watered to stop their skins cracking and checked over nightly. The tomatoes that have succumbed to blight! The pulled up plants can't even be used as compost in case the blight spores infect the compost so have had to be thrown out in the green bin.
There's now room for salad leaves and cress but will the hens eat those?
Luke has saved a few tomatoes and is keeping a close eye on them. We are hoping that by sitting in the sun and warmth of the greenhouse they will ripen up and be salvaged for a few glorious Greek salads of mozzarella, basil and tomatoes.
