six inches is 3 times higher than mine LOL!! I don't think we'll be getting any actual fruit off ours this year but will have to barter tom's with eggs with next door :0)

Thank goodness for that! Mine are growing slowly but surely, and one or two have flower buds. I'm hopeless with tomatoes so am trying extra hard this year!
