If this is the Grid Gardener from the past-I took your advice

none whatsoever-how could I compete with you oh one of wisdom??

You who knows all-we are just idiots before you.

Now just go away

I'm having a go at T&M Golden Sweet and they had better be as there are only 6 seeds in the packet. Supposedly 40 3/4oz fruit per truss.
At least they all germinated.
I'm also growing T&M Aviro (orange).Real Rio Grande. I say real as its a pack from Italy. Moneymaker cos the packet was free. I have T&M Legend still to go in and hope that the instructions are right.Sow April! Maybe Saddad can verify that for me.
Earlier on this site i questioned polytunnels and listened to others advice.Now that i have a 3.5MX2.5M polytunnel i'm going to have a bash at growing moneymaker inside and out. I've heard that they can be a mite tough skinned grown outside so its the year to experiment.
Really liked Black Cherry last year.

If you can start them in a propagator you can start them now... April isn't that far away!! ;D

On Friday I sowed Alicante, Gardeners Delight and Moneymaker. This is the first year i have grown any from seed. I also have the '3 sisters and tom' swap coming to me next so hopefully there will be some different ones in there.

Twoflower · « **Reply #29 on:** March 29, 2009, 20:52:20 »

I think last year was the first time i've ever seen tomato blight.

debster · « **Reply #30 on:** March 29, 2009, 20:57:00 »

Twoflower · « **Reply #31 on:** March 29, 2009, 21:05:18 »

Everyone seems to be growing black cherry. Is it really that good, have i missed a trick?

posie · « **Reply #32 on:** March 29, 2009, 21:07:03 »

Well after growing way too many varieties and plants last year, then losing them to blight, I'm only doing Roma, Sweet Millions and Moneymaker this year and I'm only doing 3 plants of each!

not 2007 it was 2006!

2006 was great, just the most stupendous crops. In 2007 I lost the lot to blight in less than a week. Broke my heart. 2008 was mixed for me, the blight wasn't too bad in Maidstone, despite the ravages everyone else experienced, but the crop was not heavy, probably due to poor light and low temperatures.

I've got a good feeling about this year.
