The tomatoes of Brian

Brian lives in Edendale, in the shadow of Fonterra's giant milk-powder factory but that doesn't stop him from growing a fabulous garden. When he told me that he had tomatoes still on the vine at this time of year, I was a little dubious, but he sent me photographic evidence. I was expecting them to look wizened and partly-deflated, but on the contrary, they're plump and full. Just goes to show ya!

It must be all that milk close by.
Do you think he has a direct line or does he go and collect it?

Wow, thats impressive.
We thought ripen tomatoes in a glasshouse in Dunedin in June was a record!

Come on Robert, you can't tease us with a photo and not tell us how it was done!

I've no idea what Brian did that was special wildcrafty! He just said to me the other day, 'guess what' - I'll email him and ask. I should have been more curious at the time but there were other issues being wrestled with, and horned dilemmas.
