Last year everything in the greenhouse seemed to be late, possibly because I had to keep things in small pots for a long time waiting for growbags to be delivered & having had trouble getting hold of seeds due to the lockdown. This year everything seems to be growing very well & we've already had 2 mini & 4 huge cucumbers & most of the tomatoes are starting to fruit, fingers crossed that they don't all get blight! Black Russian tomatoes  Carmen cucumber  Another Carmen cucumber  Indigo cherry tomatoes - think you recommended these steve, first time I've grown this variety?  More mini 'Baby' cucumbers growing  Sungold tomatoes  Tigerella tomatoes  |

They look brilliant sue, i refuse to grow them in the green house as 2yrs running i had white fly never again, my cucumbers arn't very good this year the toms are doing ok lots of folidge not many flowers and a few toms coming, the ones i planted out in veg plot are doing better. So i'll think again for next year.

Indigo rose was the one I grew SueA it’s a really jet black all over, the only problem was it was difficult to tell when ripe but if it felt soft it got munched 😁 well done with the cucumbers, mine always start off well then eventually succumb to red spider |

they're looking good SueA my tomatoes are starting to set but the cucumbers are just sitting sulking for lack of sun and haven't even started to flower  |

Blight is the biggest problem here, I've already emptied one pot of potatoes as the foliage had died back & it does even creep into the greenhouse sometimes eventually but hopefully I can get some ripe tomatoes before then & I do manage to hold it off by picking off any suspect leaves as they appear. I think my black tomato seeds are called something like Indigo Cherry Drops so maybe related to the ones you grew steve, I'm growing 'Green Envy' again as well & they're difficult to tell when they're ripe as they stay bright green so you have to keep squeezing them!  |

I had a few tomatoes in the GH that looked like they might have blight Sue so i dumped them and repotted what was left . Fingers crossed no sigh of blight on the rest yet.
