For those wondering about tomatoes in a Brisbane winter


For those wondering about tomatoes in a Brisbane winter

This is what I’m getting every 1-3 days. I generally harvest when there’s a hint of colour and finish ripening inside.

Current mix is yellow Tommy Toe, black cherry, Thai pink egg and lemon drop.

Also got regular Tommy Toe plus pink and sunrise Bumblebee tomatoes loaded with fruit but they’re not ripening yet.

All these were planted in mid April as good sized seedlings (sown from seed late February).

Not posting this to brag but rather to share that with a bit of planning you can have fresh tomatoes all year round here (but only grow humidity suitable types December to March, such as Tropic). I’m sowing seed this weekend for my next batch to plant out late winter.

I posted this on r/brisbanegardening as well, you’re not seeing double (can’t cross post here).
