Post by: qahtan on September 27, 2011, 21:50:04: They are outdoors,, we don't have a green house I am sorry to say, we did when we lived in Sussex UK, I grew Angelica in it, my aunt candied some.... Funny candied Angelica is some thing you never see in Ontario.

One of the tomatoe plants was Brandywine, that appears to be finished now. It tastes just like a true English tomatoe. qahtan

Sungold, Bambino, Sweet Million and the larger Gardeners Delight have all done brilliantly under glass here in good old Sussex by not far from the sea
