PS on Tomato Temperatures

[ken]

We had a good discussion on tomato temperature requirements earlier in the year. As usual, I sowed my greenhouse tomatoes in the first wek in March - not a good decision in view of the later freakish cold weather. The plants are now looking very good and growing fast. I think in some cases at least one of the trusses has aborted due to the cold (in spite of me shuttling the plants into the house when low temperatures were forecast). Now they seem to be making up for lost time - on some plants of Gardeners Delight and Olivade there are four trusses flowering at the same time, and on the others three. I don't recall it happening quite like this before. I think we'll get a good crop, but sadlyI lso think I'll miss my target this year of picking the first ripe tomato before 1 July.

Mine outside on the balcony are nearly as far forward as the greenhouse
tomatoes, small fruits forming.
