Topic: Tomatoes

[Chezzie]

Hello everyone, I hope I'm in the right place to ask  this, my mum is after Arasta (SP?) tomatoes or do you have any suggestions or recommendations also where I can order them, I'm in Holland btw.

She has a green house and plenty of room in the gardenif that helps!  Thanks Chezzie

Hi

I found Arasta seeds via google:

site: http://www.seeds-by-size.co.uk/
mentioned on http://www.seeds-by-size.co.uk/vsbct-98.htm

don't know whether they ship to Netherlands- why not email them?

good luck
Ross

Thanks very much, I googled but I think I spelt it wrongly.

Arasta? We used to grow them, & I think they were quite good.
Hope you're going to design a TULIP avatar?= Tim

[Chezzie]

I would if I knew what it was Tim!  :-[

Hi again Chezzie

Still looking I see,Tim gave me the clue when he said `used to`I wonder if that variety is being phased out by some companies as I do know I found it for you once-I throw old catalogues away though :-[

Hi Stephan, The silly thing was, I saved it along with the Ex-Pat list from another board and all I had saved was all the page settings from the BBC and no information [silly me]

Thanks anyway I like the site!

 i think an avatar is the little piccie most of us have under our names. In your profile, there is a question asking if you have one or would like one they keep in their database (or whatever). You can go to google and images and look for something that takes your fancy (I have a collie dog) and then type in the address (it should end in jpeg or gif, i think) on your profile questionaire and you should get the image to transfer to be your avatar. As is obvious, i am somewhat dim on a PC so someone else may have to jump in here. Anyway, good luck.

Hi Chezzie, try Pum's zaden in Holland, it's were I order mine. He sells lots of seeds from England and told me once that if I can't find something he can probably get it for me. Here is the address:

 http://www.pumszaden.nl/webshop.aspx?sid=q43bug3iqeara555knxjgb55

If you have trouble with the Dutch language you can private message me and I will help you.

Ps: here is a tulip for you, warm greetings.
Ina

Thanks Ina, I have saved the address.  Now that's what I call a tulip!  I live above shops and there is a flower kiosk outside my window, I make Brownies and cakes for them and they give me flowers and plants and anything that's a bit past it's sell-by date or not looking very happy, I have very green fingers [luck not knowledge] so everything grows [except campanula]  I only have a terrace, which is quite big luckily enough but it is jam packed, the chap who gave me everything came to look on internet today and said it looks like the Keukenhof, praise indeed!

Thanks for the offer but I do speak Dutch.

Groetjes Chezzie
