The tomatoes have grown a lot! There are also a lot of tomatoes on our bushes, but unfortunately they don't colour very quickly due to the many rainy days. De many large leaves are not helping too, the sunlight really needs to reach the tomatoes unimpeded.
Like our very expert tomato grower says: we are growing tomatoes, not tomato leaves, so away with them. With a heavy heart this is what we did. All the large leaves are removed. For the first time this week we were able to harvest a bowl of tomatoes and they are beautiful and delicious! The mini-monsters are very proud of them!
Next to the herbs the raspberries grow, which we pruned back almost to the ground, last fall. They have grown back considerably, but not as much as in other years. The harvest is also considerably less, but our hopes are set for next year. Maybe they need some time and we should prune less rigorously this fall!
