Tommys

The tomato picking is picking up pace with the Mortgage Lifters stating to ripen. They're a great tasting tomato, with more of a ruby colour than the normal tomatoe red. I'm having a problem with leaves dying back on these plus one of the romas. I've had this happen late in the season, which I think is a normal part of the plant's cycle, but not in spring. There doesn't seem to be any mites around, but we've had such a hot spring this year, with days varying from mid thirties back down to high twenties, so maybe that's to blame. I've also been a bit ambitious with the plant numbers and they're badly overcrowded.
