Our tomatoes are running later than I’d expect again this year, despite having got them off to an earlier start. I think the combination of light levels and temperature have contributed. Possibly we’ve also had the polytunnel too well sealed. There have only been a few days when we’ve had it open for pollinators to get in; fewer bees to rescue at the end of the day but perhaps a delay in harvest too?

No matter… we are now coming into harvest season. Over the next week, I expect to be harvesting a few every few days and, at some point, that will probably take off for a period when I’ll be struggling to keep up with them!
