What has Monty Don been doing to his tomatoes? I settled down to the 26 July edition of Gardeners' World on iPlayer and nearly spilt wine all over my laptop from the shock of seeing those poor tortured specimens. We use the same brand of peat-free grow-bags as Monty was demonstrating, but have never had any problem with blossom end-rot (sounds painful, doesn't it?!) and all our plants are cropping heavily – see smug photo. Monty was finally getting round to feeding his starved, dried-up and generally half-dead pot-grown plants with a home-made comfrey brew that had him retching over the bucket – surely the tomatoes' revenge. Apparently this is all an experiment for telly, so hopefully Monty's got his "proper" tomatoes tucked around the corner somewhere.
