igenlode: The pirate sloop 'Horizon' from "Treasures of the Indies" (Default)
It rained heavily, and despite all my previous efforts at pouring water into them at least twice a day, the ripe tomatoes on a couple of my plants split. They do at least now have seeds in :-)
The Roma tomatoes don't seem to have split, despite being larger, but the first few are pretty much ready to pick now. Small by the standards of your average tinned tomato, but considerably larger than the one-and-a-half-inch towel-tomatoes!
Meanwhile the catch-up towel-tomato has set its first fruit, and the chilli has several, which will now have several months in which to ripen before the autumn ;-) The smaller chilli has its first flower-buds.

We have a couple of tiny plump mesembryanthemum seedlings.
