This is the very last of my tomatoes. The green ones have been left on a warm indoor windowsill to ripen, and should keep me going until the end of the month.
The varieties I grew this year were:
- Tomato (Red Cherry).
- Tomato 'Gardener's Delight'. Both grown from seed in a sun room / glass house from April until November.

Happy Thanksgiving to all in the USA - hope you have a great day!
(less than 5 weeks until Christmas!)

I was shocked to see fresh tomatoes! Then I read on, and saw that they were being grown in a sun room. I bet they taste wonderful right now, and a cleared-out sun room will allow you to start thinking about plants for spring!
ReplyDeleteI think that if you tried really hard, Kelli, you could have fresh tomatoes all year round. That sun-room of yours is a real boon.
ReplyDeleteGreat tomato growing! I pulled mine months ago. Just pulled the bell peppers today, though. They need warmer soil and warmer nights to get started, but they keep going for a while even after the soil and night temperatures cool off.
ReplyDeleteWow, I think I need to ditch the greenhouse & have a conservatory built.
ReplyDeleteJust finishing off the last of our tomatoes too.
ReplyDeleteRed and green are very festive
ReplyDeleteYou've done well to keep them going so long. I miss home grown tomatoes through the winter months, you just can't get that taste from shop bought ones.
ReplyDeleteWow! Your tomatoes look really healthy and hardy. My cherry tomatoes were not as robust. :)
ReplyDeleteFresh tomatoes? Quite a treat for this time year. I am amazed at the plant life that you still have in your garden. The weather has been quite mild the last few days after the now we had several days ago. The ground is still moist, a good thing.Thanks for the Thanksgiving thoughts. Will you celebrate too?
ReplyDeleteYou still have fresh tomatoes, I suppose your weather is more soft than in our country. Or you are a great tomatoe grower. I pulled my tomatoes already out of the greenhouse. I had the same 'Gardeners Delight'from seed. Delicious cherry tomatoes and I had lots of them but only until end of September.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli, what an achievement to have fresh tomatoes in Nov especially after the summer we have had!Ours are long gone and I have had to resort to buying them and the taste is the biggest difference.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, I had no idea that your climate was so much milder than ours! I think we are actually south of you too! Tomatoes are long gone, but yours looks delicious. I miss them already.
ReplyDeleteNovember and tomatoes!!! It´s incredible!!
