Tomatoes. They should have been red a month ago, but better late than never. #gardening

Some have ripened. Not quite the same volume as two years ago with the cherry tomatoes, but the consistency of moneymakers isn't bad.
@jsbarretto Where do you live? Here it was too hot for tomatoes to become red.

@Irisfreundin South-West England. We did have a heatwave, but they're not usually as bad as central Europe. The problem over here is that we get *a lot* of rain, and climate change is only making that more intense. Blight-like diseases are the biggest trouble with tomatoes here.
This season's can of worms was the weather, again. A long period of dry heat followed by a week of rainfall gave some blossom end rot. Thankfully most of the fruit is salvageable, but it's a bit frustrating. My fault for not giving them enough attention this year.
