A few q's

1. How many of each plant do you addicts grow?

2. do you keep the varieties apart?

3. how many green houses/ tunnels are we talking about?

4. do you take special precautions to get true seed?

5. how do find the time?

6. Is it contagious?

;D ;D ;D

grannyjanny · « **Reply #15 on:** March 08, 2011, 13:34:09 »

Is it contagious ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D, I could go on ;).

goodlife · « **Reply #16 on:** March 08, 2011, 13:55:47 »

1. I grow one of each variety..usually.. ::)
2. Not usually..only a 'normal' planting distance
3. Umm...two for me..that's one large that will take 20-30 varieties and 1 small that dipending of varieties should take about 10...or so.. ;D
4. Not necessary..If its for HSL..yes..I use fleece around truss until fruit is set..but usually no, only if it is flower type that has the 'dangly bits ' exposed..
5. with difficulty.. ;D I don't go away during spring summer other than day trip or two..and by 'living' outside during summer and only going indoors to eat and sleep ;)
6. OH YES!!! ;D..basically..you mustn't have a life other than allotment ::)
;D ;D ;D..you are welcome to join the 'sad' tomato growers club ;D

Are there any you like the look of Anne? :)

pumkinlover · « **Reply #18 on:** March 08, 2011, 14:10:15 »

My little list pales into insignificance.

Plumpton king
Yellow perfection -(don't like it much but just to use up)
Broad ripple current
Red Pear
Andine cornue
Costoluto Genovese
Gardeners Delight (OH favorite)
Money maker
Roma vf
Elaine's mystery
broad ripple yellow current

Now that doesn't look too bad. I think I'm ok

In fact that loks very tame and probably bit boring to you addicts. ;D ;D ;D
