Third September and I pick my first ripe plum tomato - and another one is ripening.
A colleague at work says she doesn't bother with plum tomatoes anymore as they take so long to ripen so it is not just me.
Though the only non plum tomato plant I have had ripe fruit a month after my friend Tony got ripe fruit on his plants - and it has been just 2 or 3 ripe tomatoes every week. And my first picking of beans was on bank holiday Monday - over a month after Tony started picking his.
And Tony lives in Chingford on the edge of London, so not benefiting much from the heat of the city.
