Over 4kg so far and still 2 or 3 to harvest, but all in all I've been a bit disappointed with them. The Marketmore has skin that is just too thick and because I'm trying to sell them on a market stall their short length stops people from buying them. I'll have to try a different one next year. Tomatoes haven't been bad at all but I don't like some of the varieties I've grown - I'll have to stick to the good ol' fashioned ones next time.<br /><br />I've been very interested in your chilli posts and will go back through some of them and re-read when I come to choose them next year. Mine have been fantastic and they are all ripening now but I've grown one that is just too hot for me.

It's hard to believe that cooler weather is around the corner in our neck of the woods, with humidex reading of almost 40C today! Not great for the gardener, but really good when it comes to the end of season push to get in as many ripe peppers and tomatoes as possible.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.com
