Tomato Patch #2

I planted the bulk of my tomatoes at the end of November and the patch looked like this shortly after planting.

About 1 1/2 months later the patch looks like this:

To the right is a bed filled with pumpkins, chillies, capsicums, melons, zucchini, cucumbers. This bed goes all the way to the end of the patch.

Fruit set on the tomatoes is slow due to the excessive heat over many days. There are still quite a few plants that do not have any fruit set yet.

We will get fruit a lot later than usual as I was a few weeks behind with my planting. Normally we can expect the tomato glut to start middle of February.
