The tomatoes have grown a lot. We lost a few plants to disease - some virus and some wilt - that I think was due to the cool weather making the plants more susceptible. Plants are approaching the tops of the string trellis system (which I have now learnt that I need to tie less tightly as I also strangled 2 plants to death) and there are plenty of ripe fruit on the Earligold and a few ripe ones on the Stupice, our steadfast cool-weather cropper.
The eggplants have grown tremendously and have set fruit. If the summer lingers we should get a good crop of these as well as the chillis and capsicums that have also grown well and set fruit.
what bumper year for apricots!. This is the second tree, the Rival, which is just about ripe. The earlier tree - Goldrich - is 3 times as big and produced a big crop of huge and delicious fruit.
