Late summer produce

We thought the tomatoes and courgettes did well this summer, but when we compared our tomato crop to our neighbours it looked very small! I think I had grown ours in rather small pots whereas the neighbours grew them in the ground. But for only our second year of growing toms we weren’t too disappointed. Next year I’ll try growing them in the ground!  Meanwhile the chillies are starting to ripen, but they’re not as prolific as ‘Prairie Fire’ last year.
