Tomatoes all done,but I picked strawberries this week.
I have a huge self sown big yellow cherry tomato that I finally picked the 4metre stems up off the ground and hung on a support last week. Still flowering, loads still ripening and has a warm north facing brick wall behind it. I'm going to hang some plastic up in front of it and see how far into winter I can keep it going.

I just ripped mine out today. will make green tomato chutney with tomatoes I picked. Need the space for my winter veges otherwise I may have seen how long they would go for.

Yes - mine are still growing but starting to get a bit cooler now - these three plants are clones of the 1st picked lats of their parent plants and dipped into rooting hormone early December. https://trademe.tmcdn.co.nz/photoserver/full/381180356.jpg

We still get a dozen cherry tomatoes each day. A few years ago I had a tomato plant in a pot on the deck and it produced tomatoes in winter. Maybe I should plant some now.

If you pull the whole plant and hang it roots-up indoors before it gets frosted the green ones slowly ripen. Green tomatoes make great chutney, sauce and jam

Ok so here is a photo from today. 18/05/15 Surly you people know how to work a camera ? Only one good photo so far from another tomato grower.
I had a grafted beefsteak that had a short run and delivered fruit that didnt look at all like beefsteak. Once it had fruited I left it there and paid no attention to it. Over the last two months it has grown to an enormous size with lots of cherry tomatoes on it, and still flowering. I finally cut it down yesterday and found that while the graft had died way back when the beefsteaks were done, the rootstock had really gone for it! Boy was that vigorous! The little cherry tomatoes it produced had very thick skins and were quite sweet when only the slightest hint of yellow was on them. Not really a lot of fruit for the amount of foliage.
