Looks like a splendid meal in one.
How's the taste and seediness?

Look fine to me.  (I like the idea of removing the trays from the stand so it can be used for support ;))

taste is superb, sweet and juicy! (lovely in a Pimms!) yes i keep the cover on the frame to increase humidity early on, then remove cover and leave frame as support. ;)

They look fantastic, tonybloke.  It's not a variety I have heard of.  Where did you get the seeds, so we can all join in. ;D
