The tomatoes still haven't ripened yet. According to Monty Don on BBC Gardeners World its because of the heatwave we've
Had this year in the UK.
Aparently long periods of tempratures above 30 degrees C will cause this.

Hope they ripen, as we've got plenty growing...

Aubergines looking good still.

You can't beat growing your own. If you don't have a garden (like myself, i live in a flat) why not get an allotment?

if you are in the UK check out your local council. you might be surprised at how cheap they are.
We pay £75 per year (includes water rates) for a decent sized plot.

You get to grow your own, have a garden with somewhere nice to be in the summer and you get meet some great people and be a part of a great community
