Garden is starting to produce enough tomatoes for the table. Not enough quantity to preserve yet. Weather is cool so production is reduced.

Add an onion and perhaps a spud for a tops veg curry?

I did, as well as Garlic and some Linda McSausages

She said "lightbulb" as the name. maybe that will get you somewhere.

I just googled the name, and the pix come up showing that tomato . so your hunt is on for the seed. she has them every year, so they must be easy to find.

Esther, we have grown these, or at least something very similar, for years. They are "Yellow Pear" tomatoes. They are sweet, very prolific, and the vine grows to about 5' and needs trellising. There is a Red Pear tomato, also. When we grow them we don't plant--just let the volunteers come up in the spring, and move them to where we want them.

Yellow Pear Tomato

78 days. Very sweet, 1 1/2" yellow, pear-shaped fruit have a mild flavor, and are great for fresh eating or for making tomato preserves. Very productive plants are easy to grow.

What to do with six large Kale plants? Produce off season food. My method is slurry/juice. Pressure canned.

SLURRY?

This word has a terrible connotation in this country .. Or I might have mistaken! Just a laugh. Please don't be offended. Good that you look after yourself .. not too sure about SLURRY though!

Mouse ate my big tomatoes at ground level in the greenhouse, so picked off my Ox heart ones before he gets them too
