I ate my first outdoor

I ate my first outdoor tumbling tom about four weeks ago, but since then nothing, just lots of small green ones expanding. I harvested a truss or so from each outdoor sungold about four weeks ago, and a few ripe ones today, more ripening. The first four trusses were fast to appear, the next lot are quite slow, but lots of flowers now. I think the plants were putting energy into roots after planting in beds, which slowed flower formation.

A bit off topic, but I tend to let sungold sprawl a bit, to get a better harvest. The recommended eight trusses is far too few. I got about 16 ripe ones last year, plus about the same number of green ones which were hit by blight.
