I get this amount of tomatoes off my three plants each and every day. Not bad considering I live in Scotland where it's supposed to be too cold to grow this variety outdoors. 
Although my strawberries are now finished the foliage is giving a lovely display in my wheelbarrow at the moment so I thought I'd share it with you too.

Both are lovely to look at. Are your tomatoes the low acid type?

Lovely pics Eileen. How do the tomatoes taste compared to the red ones and is the texture different? I will have to try some next year.

Sharon I find that the yellow tomatoes are softer skinned and sweeter tasting than the red ones. You can also buy orange tomato seeds now but I've not tried those one yet - maybe next year!!

The strawberry foliage is quite striking and that one bumper crop of tomatoes Eileen. Who says you can't grow tomatoes in Scotland eh?

Lovely Toms Eileen! Are you cooking with them or just eating them like sweeties? I love the yellow toms, I find them sweeter and they are definately lower in acid. The strawberry foliage looks amazing - however, it goes to show that it is nippy in Bonnie Scotland already for your strawbs to looks so autumnal. Gorgoooooos!

I've eaten them, put them in salads, cooked with them, given them to Ian's workmates, to family, to neighbours, to friends and still I have more!!!  Just as well I like tomatoes eh?
Just wait EJ you could end up with some if I get fed up munching on them.

Nice looking tomatoes! I'd like to know the variety too! Do you save seeds for next season or buy more?

The strawberry foliage is stupendous, almost as good as eating strawberries. Nice maters. I always grow yellow ones too. The flavor is different and they make a nice contrast in salads.

Mmmm, my favorite tomato is a little yellow pear-shape one that I can never remember the name of, but they are So Sweet!
Those colors in the strawberries make me want to grab my brush and do a sketch!
