It’s a tomato. With ambition.
Above and beyond the greenhouse roof.
But assuming it fruits before it is frosted, how are we going to pick it?

With a ladder and a pair of garden shears, and you’d best be quick, otherwise those pesky squirrels will claim it as their own 😉

You’re right about the squirrels – hadn’t thought about them. I had thought that at least my tomatoes would be safe from the mice up there??!
Ah, Jessica, of course you have an airer; now that I’ve read about your house it’s clear that it wouldn’t be complete without one. I’m looking forward to some interior photos when the darkening evenings turn your attention from the outdoors.
Hi Mise, thank you for stopping by. Love your blog. Indoors is a horror story. But yes, you’re right, I can’t put it off forever!
How did it do that? I am impressed. You’re going to need a step ladder to reach it, aren’t you? Can you be bothered I wonder?
It depends how much of a glut I have INSIDE the greenhouse. So far, it’s only flowering. It will probably be frosted before any fruit ripens. 4 deg C crossed a weather man’s lips a couple of days ago. You are in the right place! Hope you had a good flight.
It must have been determined to get out into the open air to struggle in between the metal and glass like that!:)
Or I need a new greenhouse?
Are you sure it is a tomato plant and not a giant beanstalk?!!! You could try climbing it. You may find a hen that lays golden eggs at the top!
Now that would be one useful tomato plant!
Like Simone, I think this must be the stuff of fairy tales 😉 I am also curious as to what marvelous tomato food you may be using…!
One of the plants did it again this year too… just to prove it wasn’t a fluke! I have been feeding the tomatoes but perhaps it also says a lot about the state of the greenhouse roof!
Oh, that’s funny! You have to admire the perseverance of plants – they want to thrive so badly, no matter where their roots happen to be. 🙂
It never did bear fruit, as I recall, the frost got to it first.
That’s too cute! Thanks for the smile.
Hi Laura and welcome!
Made me smile too 🙂
