I've got some weedy ones that have yet to flower :-)

But they don't look likely to either :-/

The problem with mine weedy ones is they aren't bent - so I doubt they're gonna win the Benty McBentstem award :-)

Dunno whether you'd describe em as straggly but they are pretty poor specimens.

Left in too small a pot for far too long. When I planted them out into a big pot they've just stayed the same size. I don't think they are happy plants and are refusing to flower - no matter how much tomato feed I give em :-)

I think I should add, at long last my tomatoes are setting loads of fruit, and I have had a bumper courgette crop, so much so that now my onions are ready it is chutney time....

I should have thought before planting a sunflower for a competition in the vegetable cage, it has reached the top with no where to gošŸ˜³. (I have uploaded the image number in the hope that it will miraculously make the picture appear, if not help please!)
