Still Harvesting Tomatoes

Still Harvesting Tomatoes

It's January 10th and we are still getting ripe tomatoes from the greenhouse. I think the plants are slowly dying, some tomatoes have got black marks and many leaves are now dead, but tomatoes are still ripening! Only 3 frosts this winter so far and one of those was slight.


Amazingly they are also sweet. I think this is largely due to the lack of watering that they have received which has helped concentrate the sugars which would have otherwise been diluted by the water. They are taking a long while to ripen as expected.
