I know this is a daft post to write but it's my blog so there!
I've mentioned the tomatoes that we have grown this year. How 3 plants have yielded over 250 tomatoes.
And I consider that utterly miraculous. Three plants, which I must add, I did not do the correct thing to- I did not pinch out most of the side shoots that you are supposed to. I went away for weeks on end in that scorching weather and they weren't watered apart from my Mum's weekly water.
The flavour of these beauties is just like no other tomato I have bought in recent years.
Also, they have been absolutely crammed full of juice and seeds. When I made a pasta with vegetables, the tomatoes provided so much moisture and liquid that I just wouldn't get from shop-bought tomatoes. When I chop them, I see it spilling out. They have provided so many dinners. They last for ages too.
Perhaps the exceedingly sunny and dry weather is the reason their flavour and prolific yield was so perfect? Perhaps I won't experience this again. But, I am grateful, truly grateful that I have had them this year.
