My #OxHeart #tomato plant is dead.

Last week, while the rest of the state (mostly) had steady or heavy rains we had very strong winds.

We tried restaking the tomato but all of its roots had been torn out & it didn’t recover.

(I prefer our old #Cherokee tomatoes anyway, so it’s no big loss).

The last of its fruit is going into another #devilled #sausage #dinner tonight.

We have had some #bigwinds come through.

Our #OxHeart tomato & it’s pot are down on the ground & one of the smaller #roselle plants is lying down IN its pot.

I’ve staked the Roselle back up - its trunk is thicker than my thumb - and yet it was blown flat!

With today’s newest #OxHeart #tomatoes & my bedside ripened ones, I’m going to make a #casserole 🤗 #dinner
Bedside ripening #OxHeart #tomatoes. 🤗

My biggest #OxHeart #tomato decided today was the day to leave the bush.

It's still very green though! It'll give me some colour in a few days I guess.

It's very much in shadow here on the patio, so apologies for the photo #gardening

There are now 14 #tomatoes on my #OxHeart. I really was expecting large tomatoes but I’m just happy it’s producing fruit.

I do miss growing #Cherokee tomatoes though. Huge beautiful tasting tomatoes in huge amounts, but prone to splitting & grubs loved them.

A very poor photo of my only #tomato plant this year, an #OxHeart.

It’s been very slow to produce but now has 11 tomatoes growing & lots of flowers. #gardeing

Finally!

Our #OxHeart #tomato is filling with fruit!

I believe it’s next starting role will be in ‘Ham, Cheese & Alien Sandwich’

“One of my #OxHeart #tomatoes looks like a prop from the movie #Alien!”
