Thanks KiwiNat62. Just what I wanted. I guess you live a bit far north for winter tomatoes.

No worries Jefferies - happy to help.
Yep - winter in sub-tropical QLD is very different to winter in NZ.
Being a novice gardener (with a reputation for killing plants), I planted all my seeds out - you know what they say about ignorance being bliss - I currently have 21 winter tomato plants growing rather nicely - they must be hardy to survive my touch. I'm looking forward to their development.

Pressed the wrong button and got into tomatoes.

I really want to know more about growing figs. My plant looks healthy but is not growing bigger. It is about four foot high.

It is a Black Genoa. I want it to grow and produce more fruit.
