Finally a bit of good tomato news. Just visited my 10x10' community allotment and found two promising T1 fruits.... without BER. I hope I don't jinx my self, but they're looking big enough to be beyond the early BER stage. This one is from the 7.94 La Rue. The other nice fruit not shown is from Jack's 10.46. They are both approx 15 DAP. Will need to bust out the bolt cutters very soon.

The bad news is the lower leaves/branches on all the allotment plants are covered with Powdery Mildew. It happens so fast. It was inevitable, even with proactive treatment, as my plot is surrounded by other plots with heavily infected plants. Wasn't prepared to spray today so will go back on Friday and with a K-Bicarbonate cocktail.
