Raymond Blanc tastiest tomato test

[Barnowl]

I am thinking now I may have got away lightly!

You did!

Luckily my order was small, just the Black Trifole, so only lost £2.40. :'(

I've just had a reply to my e-mail to Raymond Blanc from his head gardener Anne Marie Owens :o

she says  the seed for Japanese N T is available from plants of distinction and given me the e-mail address.

Its not in this years catalogue, I will e-mail them and see what happens/ shades x

I grew Japanese Black Trifelle last year, they were ugly suckers but tasted brilliant, sadly I planted the last of the seeds this year - does anybody know if it's F1??

[Jeannine]

No it is definitely not XX Jeannine

Fab, I should be able to help out with the predicted seed shortage next year then :-)

Thanks

Thanks Cambourne

I have such a bad memory, I even posted on it twice!  ;)

I emailed Roguelands a few weeks ago, they quoted me, and I haven't heard anything since. Maybe they have gone into hiding from all of the disgruntled customers!

[cambourne7]

contact the company you paid via ccpay i think and they will refund you.

[GrowingChillis]

cambourne, your inbox is full

I have a message here waiting to be sent  :)

I have just received a conformation e mail that my tom seeds have indeed been shipped,so should be here soon. I had ordered   1/4 ounce as I often do so I will have some extras if anyone is really keen XX Jeannine

[philcooper]

Somehow two of them are potato leaved and one is normal leaved. Is this normal?

Cleo,

Modern (non-potato leaved) varieties tend to have closed flowers which effectively self pollinate before insetcs can get into the flower to bring in foreign pollen.

Potato leaved varieties tend to have open flowers so there is more danger of cross pollination, hence it may be that one (or is 2) of them is (are) rogues
