Tomatoes looking great and tasty! We would have to have some greenhouse to get them grow to this size here in Sweden, but a simple plastic cover does the job pretty good. Old discarded windows leaned against the wall are sometimes used to help protecting tomatoes from the harsh weather up here and to grow a bit more! We have a few pre-cultivated plants in our kitchen at the moment, waiting to be planted in the garden soon. Hope to be able to show them to you in August!
