Mine fruit into November but then I have artificial help with the greenhouse.
Also got my first cucumber fruit and the first few peppers and chillis. Aubergines are close to flowering too. |

| 3 inches in diameter. 2 of them. It's about the volume of soil and clumpy bits of organic matter. I can fill a wheelbarrow with what gets washed out the greenhouse. |
