The very first tomato I have ever grown.
Its only about 5mm but as Mo and Welshie will tell you, size doesn't matter.

Superb! I bet you are so proud

I don't like tomatoes. Or mushrooms

Mushrooms yes, lovely, Tomatoes No , I don't like the squishy bit in the middle, I like tomato sauce though.

Breckie has been chomped.
The remains of the melt in the mouth bacon chops from yesterday. On toasted, with brown sauce......bootiful

Like the sound of that.Would have to substitute the brown sauce for tomato sauce

Hello, fellow disliker of tomatoes! Don't you find it a nuisance? so may "standard" offerings come with tomatoes.

Strangely enough, I like Italian food, which is frequently tomato based, and, I like tomato products (eg ketchup, tomato soup, etc), but fresh tomatoes I have difficulty even touching, never mind eating!

Rain lashing down again. Glad I got my walk done before it got as heavy.

Must be Weetabix time now I think.

Reading all the early morning posts I get the impression thee and me are both Weetabix addicts despite the crumbs

Have you tried the banana flavoured and red berry flavoured ones? I like the banana ones, but still slice a banana on too!

I think they are actually less crumbly than the plain ones.

Same here. I like pizzas, tomatoes soup, ketchup and spag bol. I just hate actual tomatoes

MrsD doesn't like the seeds in tomatoes. As that is 75%ish of the fruit it somewhat annoys me to see it go in the bin.
Strangely, if I do eg a cheese and tomato sandwhich I leave it all in and she eats it . It must be a visual thing.
Me... I eat the lot. Love them.

My father was a market gardener and he had large glasshouses with tomatoes as well as a range of other stuff. When he was an apprentice and later a journeyman the toilet arrangements at the "big house" were to run everything into one tank a bit like a cess pit. The contents of this were used to feed the tomatoes in the greenhouses. Worked a treat.
