First blush


That welcome first hint of a colour other than green on the greenhouse tomato plants. A bit later than in 2010 (I blame the cool Spring for that, particularly as the tomatoes were sown earlier this year!), but earlier than in 2009. These are the reliably early Black Cherry variety: last year's earliest tomatoes were Marmande and Poma Amoris Minora Lutea, both of which I'm growing again this year, but neither of which are yet changing colour. Strange...
