Well, only a few at the moment , but lots more thinkingabout it.
They're 'sweet olive' cherry type - with Plum type 'Italia' hot on their heels I hope.

Post by: wattapain on June 26, 2005, 18:17:58: But just rememberthese are the ones sown in Feb and kept in the greenhouse - all the others which were sown in April and planted out as normal are the same as yours - ie green and small. Thy won't be red until late July at the earliest and quite possibly august like last year. Lastyear I got so fed up waiting that I decided to try early ones so that's waht I did.
And Tim, yes they are bl***y gorgeous, but I still prefer the outdoor ones as I think they taste even better.

Post by: Svea on July 29, 2005, 17:34:11: aha! i am not the only one resorting to major engineering trying to hold the trusses up :D
Title: Re: Yippee - they're red!!
Post by: Mrs Ava on July 29, 2005, 23:03:22: Nice Tim. I have 'peacevine' in the greenhouse which appears to be a yellow cherry variety and they are well laden trusses also.

Post by: tim on August 14, 2005, 09:32:11: Brag ye not, as Howard would say!

No - just to confirm my belief in Nectar. The trusses shown above - 2 per plant at that time, & 24 to a truss - have now been eaten, & this is the next lot. Pity - I had just picked the real red ones when I decided to record. Bigger than 'cherries' but neater than 'standard'.

And for anyone (Emma?) growing Fiorentino, they are ripening orangey. Vida Verde say that they would expect them to be redder.
