    I am trying Tumble Toms for the first time this year - already got loads of flowers and a couple of fruit starting, but it doesn't show much sign of tumbling yet?

    Also got two plants with plenty of flowers and a few fruit, one plant is looking better than the other too. Bit disappointing as I thought I'd get more toms. Maybe its the hot weather. First time I treid these.

    My tumbler is going really well, got my first two toms off it today :D It's probably got more fruit than the 4 indeterminate plants I've got put together. I will definitely grow more next year

    I have got them but they are outside so only a few fruit have set so far (fingers crossed the decent weather keeps going and I will get more) the are far behind my other plants but they are either in the conservatory or grow house.

    We visited the open gardens in the village of Little Hallingbury at the weekend. One of the gardens had a Tumble Tom in a raised pot. It had dozens of toms on it but none ripe yet. He said he had been growing them for years and now keeps his own seed and they grow true.

    All our determinates are doing well and some of the indeterminates have masses of fruit whilst others are not doing all that well.
