OK, it's getting beyond a joke now. I popped into the supermarket earlier and the shelves had been stripped bare, not a tomato in sight!

I grow my own tomatoes so am not that bothered about buying them out of season, pretty tasteless. I still have a couple of bags of my own in the freezer for sauces.

I have just got my tomato seeds to start this year’s crop

I am going to grow half in my greenhouse and half outdoors this year.

I am also creating a raised vegetable bed. It’s going to make more and more sense to grow your own

With electricity prices being so high it will be quite expensive to grow your own spring and summer veg in winter.

Wait a few weeks for the growing season to start again and it will be a distant memory.
