I was half expecting it though given the wet, mild weather in the past month. I have ripped out all the plants and have picked off any of the unripe fruit. I need to see if I could possibly make green chutney out of the unblemished fruit. That way, it wouldn't be a total loss. I'll ask for some advice from some fellow plotters on a forum. Has anyone reading this blog made chutney from similar tomatoes?
I brought home quite a harvest though including the first pick of runner beans, my first cucumber (Miniature White - that yellow thing in the foreground), some peas, some globe artichokes and lots of plums.
This evening, I made an improvised spicy lamb stew with the first chilli of the year harvested from the windowsill and the remaining artichoke hearts that I marinated some days ago. I think I'll marinate artichokes again but not in such a lemony oil as it limits what you can do with the them. I don't think that lemon and cheese go together (does anyone?) so I couldn't use them as a pizza topping or on cheese on toast. They were lovely in that stew though.
Now, what to do with those plums? Plum gin maybe?

Or plum vodka, that would work as well.
