Well haven’t I been a slack little garden reporter. Doubt I’d make it in journalism… leave that to my niece. A whole 6 months has flown by since my last blog and it is not because I have stopped gardening, I think it’s because I got disheartened because this happening to my tomatoes….
Blight, Blight and BLOODY BLIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to pull up all 16 plants. Sob 
I did however learn a good lesson. Do not plant tomatoes directly into soil that used to be a compost heap and had rouge potatoes popping up all over the place.
However here are a couple of photos taken in November 09 of the German Green tomatoes Felix’s dad gave me the previous year, from which I saved seeds.
Ah, lovely sweet little tommys, and they are still going, just finishing up now. They don’t go red, just an off green yellowish… not that attractive but sooooo yum in sandwiches. They make a funny coloured tomato sauce too.
The other little joy of the summer was a great first attempt at growing garlic…
These all did pretty well, some bigger than others but after seeing how the pro’s Liz and Rick do it my crop WILL only, CAN only get better!
Now I’m back I will get out in the next couple of days and show you some of the new stuff that’s taken place of the tomatoes and they are doing HEAPS better, till then don’t forget to sing to your plants…… actually maybe not. I sang to those rotten tomatoes.
Wow, those are some sick puppy tomatoes. As you say there’s no way to save them except by extermination. At least you had proof that the Garden of Hesperides existed!
