I got around to editing The Tale of Two Tomatoes video yesterday so here it is.
It's a bit rambly but I hope it makes enough sense.
Bottom line is I hope I get some tomatoes this year. The tale of two tomatoes is about overwintering two tomato plants grown from cuttings taken from two self-sown tomatoes to see if I can get a jump on the tomato growing season.
Every year I seem to find a new way or approach to growing tomatoes that I’d like to trial. This year is no different.
Well worth a listen. Here is the link to the All The Dirt podcast where Steve Wood and Deryn Thorpe discuss what to do in the garden in spring including what veggies to plant and bulbs to buy for summer colour. https://www.allthedirt.com.au/podcast...

Here are the results of planting tomatoes later than the accepted wisdom.
Not all that pretty now that we are in the middle of winter but this is the most tomatoes I've managed to harvest here in quite some time.
I will try two more trials this coming summer, planting seeds on the 1st of December and January. How do you go with your tomatoes? Do you think planting later would help? Let me know in the comments. Oh, and don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel. Every bit helps a poor dirt farmer. 😀

🍅 Trying different things in the hope of getting some tomatoes for my troubles
It's been a long hot and very dry summer here but with the change of the seasons so does hope.
