No dig diary, 16th September 2026

I got out in the polytunnel today, rubbing shoulders with my six-legged stinging girls and decided that there were more tomatoes needing picking.

The large fruit here are Amish Paste which will be used for making pizza sauce and passata. The orange ones are a mixture of Orange Banana and Dív?í Prs (aka Czech Breast). The cherry tomatoes are Garnet. All non-F1 varieties, so I can save seed for next year. In fact, the Amish Paste and Garnet plants were all grown from seed saved last year.

The left-hand tomato on the scale weighed 440g (15½ ounces in old money) all by itself.
