      John558,
      We had a slow start this year having started late but they seem to have caught up now and we have plenty of fruit forming now except on the Black Russian plants.

      Regards

        Must admit some of mine outside are not setting fruit like normal, the plants seem to set a couple or so flowers on each truss and the rest just appear do nothing but stay attached.
        Both varieties I've never grown before, crimson crush and happy day.

        Apart from one plant they seem to be healthy enough.
        I can't even blame the weather, it's been quite good up till now.

                @Jenny namaste - also have a SunGold but in a pot in the greenhouse.
                About 7ft high with 4 trusses set and 2-3 trusses in flower, the lower trusses with about 20 fruits on each, about 1" in size, though only one fruit starting to turn red so far.

                      Tonnelet, a stripey plum.


                      Cherry Ciliegia Cerise, which translates to "Cherry Cherry, Cherry". I wonder what type it is...


                      Dwarf Velvet Night. My first dwarf. Doing quite well, I think.


                      Amy's Apricot. This one is a bit plum-shaped, whereas my other plant is round - fruited.


                      JWK's Gardener's Delight. Bagged for seed saving.

                      Chickie Cherry. My one big let-down so far. Supposed to be a mini beef in yellow. Most fruits are not setting and the few that are, are greatly fused. Will need to taste exceptional to earn another sowing.

                          Thank you. Not sure where I'm going wrong with Chickie Cherry. Maybe it needs to be outdoors getting blown about for better pollination?

                              A few from this morning, some small lets call them Sungolds because they are not Alicante and some Super Sweet 100, though I'm not 100% sure on that looking at the size.
