The old tunnel (top picture) is now coming into its own tomato wise. We should be harvesting this month and most of the plants are already 4-5' tall with 4 trusses of fruit on.The new tunnel which we built this year has a few tomatoes in but is mainly planted with sweet peppers and aubergines as we intend to bottle an awful lot of bolognese sauce and passata for use over the winter. These are now coming into flower and forming fruit.
The last picture shows the never ending chore of pinching out sideshoots. Well this one was missed and turned into a side branch. They all need removing if growing as cordons otherwise you get swamped with foilage and this can cause mildew problems as it prevents air circulation.
