Starting with the tomatoes I had to move 20 of them on into bigger containers (cut down 1lt milk cartons to be precise )....
So my tomatoes look shorter -again -but the actual plants go almost all the way to the bottom of the cartons. I was amazed at how sturdy the plants are -the part of the stem that I planted under ground last time has become really strong and not at all tender. Hopefully I won't have to move them again until its time to set them out into their final spot (at which point they will shrink again as I will try and set them so that the first "true leaves" sit just above the compost) although I have another 18 still in smaller pots but they are the determinate ones -so smaller anyway...will hopefully get time to empty another 18 milk cartons before they need them lol
Anyway -this one is a Yellow pear :-
And this one is a Brandywine -which is a "potato leaf" variety -I was most confused when I set these last year and this strang looking thing appeared, I was wondering what was going to grow on it..but now I know what it is

Hi MrsMc,
I was totally confused when my Brandywine seedlings appeared, too. My first year growing them so was clueless!
My first year growing yellow pear and crystal lemon cues, too, so I was interested to see how yours were going.
It's all looking very good in the MCawber garden. :o)

Hi cheerfulness
Thankyou ;-)
The yellowpear tomatoes I did last year were gorgeous -and really prolific.
I have done lemon cumbers before and they were really nice, these apple ones I did last year so thought I would do them again!
hope everything is going well in your garden..
