i've been having a look through john seymore's "a concise guide to self-sufficiency" (at your indirect advice) who says tomatoes only ripen on the vine when they are seeded in late winter in a greenhouse, and kept there so they have an extended season... i haven't tried though, but it seems to make sense.
I dont think supermarkets are suggesting tomatos dont ripen off the vine... generally stuff tastes better ripened on the vine, thats why they advertise it... whither its true? ehh..who knows
As long as you don't get cold or forsty weather, the pepper plant should go on and on if you water it. Congrats at reaching egg sufficiency! I get around 5 per day. They do taste soooooo much better than store bought. :)
I got some great pumpkins, plenty of zuchinis and lovely eggplant. The white cabbage moth got my cabbages. No luck with the chillis or corn this year. Yahh you will have chook manure this year. My chillis on the mainland went on for years. Awesome pumpkin. That bed was very successful. Do you have a rooster?
Congratulations on not having to buy eggs. Have some of my WInter stuff in already.

Do the veggies supplement the chickens diet or used for the main course?
