you can buy these droppers for old bottles of pop which are cheaper ;) never used them myself.
got some of them but they only last about 3 days and don't give much water when it's hot , sorry Deb for going off topic  :)
we grow about 8 or 9 different varieties

I grew the Campbell's soup last year, and it was a really tasty salad type, I guess they also use it for the soup! Mine never got that far, always ate them raw........ ::)

Heinz is a new one for me that I'm trying, from Jeannine's seed swap! ;D

Cleo will be stunned not to see Moneymaker on the list as well...... ;D

I've just been naughty and placed a Seeds of Distinction order, and ordered another tomato to try; 'Eva Purple Ball'....anyone on here grown it before?

Yes i am going to try Heinz from the swap :) was tempted to buy amish paste but have so far resisted :) not helped by not having my greenhouse planning permission yet (need to get back side into gear) then get saving so this lot is going in the garden without protection.

also going to try

- plum fryer
- red pear
- libi
- f1 sweet million
- san marzano
- aussie
- cerise
- costoluto genovese

plus the seeds saved from the tomatos i grew last year :)
