    The toms got off to a bit of a slow start this year. I have been removing trug after trug-full of excess foliage from the plants, topped them and removed the suckers from the cordon plants.
    These guys are looking pretty good to me now.

    Remember how the greenhouse looked when I started?

    ...and finally, some rewards for my labours of love:

    Oooh, looks like a feast to me! :D We've been eating Greek salad almost every day, and tomatoes with just about everything several times a day. I'm still not tired of tomatoes.
