Yesterday was windy.
And I had neglected to finish staking the tomato plants. Which was a mistake because :
You are meant to do it when you put the tomatoes in their new pots to avoid root damage.
And
If the wind blows hard the growing plants have nothing to cling to.
This Black Cherry tomato plant was hanging on by a thread and wasn’t salvageable, so is now sat in a glass in the kitchen. A lesson in skipping steps, loss and a sorry sight .
A slightly more cheery, if not surreal sight are the tomato plants that survived and are now all staked. If tomatoes were ever allowed into The Sealed Knot to recreate battles involving bamboo cane passing for pikestaffs this is what it might look like !
