We've had exceptional high temperatures this year in the UK, some plants have not matured properly and some have carried on producing into the Autumn.

The tomato's were late in ripening due to constant temps above 30 C in the greenhouse....
Now they are dying but still not fully ripening..

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
