It's been a bad season for tomatoes, and as these were just beginning to ripen, all the rain not kind to them.
However I consider myself extremely lucky, as I am safe in my own home, and apart from a few small branches torn off in the wind, my garden is intact. Just a few kms down the road people have been evacuated from their homes .... and I believe there are many who won't be able to go back, in some areas.
Tomatoes are way behind here and at my daughters place on the coast and in Adelaide at another daughter's
Weird you're experiencing it in NZ. Must be a weather thing!
