tomatoes turning orange

I think these are the red rather than yellow ones, will let them carry on ripening..

Also, I bought a pack of 2 dahlias from Homebase (red cactus style, in 1 packet) - 1 is growing normal looking flower buds and leaves, but the other appears to actually have been a potato! It has little white flowers which have turned into green "fruits" which I believe can happen in potatoes, and maybe the tubers can look the same as dahlia tubers. Anyone know? At some point perhaps I will dig down and see if I have unexpected veg. :)

tomatoes getting bigger

taxi courgette growing

One flower of each sex:

And a baby yellow courgette growing! Hopefully it has been pollinated either by bees or by me with my cotton bud trying to transfer some male pollon onto the female flower :)
