Well, we've got more green tomatoes in our polytunnel than you can imagine and they refuse to go red!
Yes, we had a few red ones, but either they've been eaten by us or some unknown creature has taken a chunk out of them.
So today, I gathered a few children and we collected a whole wicker basket of green tomatoes from just one tiny little corner. It looks like we've not touched it! Anyway we had great fun filling our basket and putting the old plants in the compost on a lovely sunny autumn afternoon.
At 3pm, we went onto the playground and sold them to the parents for chutney. Sam managed to convince his mum that she needed two bags of green tomatoes! The children sold about 5/6 bags which was great, though we've still got half a basket and more in the polytunnel!
