Collapsing tomatoes


On Tuesday I got home from work to find some of the larger tomato stems had collapsed. It was a combination of wind and not tying what have become very heavy stems to a supporting cane. Luckily they all still look healthy and are still growing strong now they have been secured properly.

Heres the most recent view of the garden. Its so relaxing sitting in the garden just looking around the plants. The first thoughts of "what can be done next year" are starting to bubble away in my head. Number one on the list is to grow more sweet peas all along the fence. As you can see in the photo, this years sweet peas cover less than a metre. I have been really suprised at how easy they have been to grow and the amount of flowers produced has been incredible.
