I go on and on about Brandywine and Caspian Pink but the truth is-I have taken a year out to grow others-Oh well some suppliers rely on us buying new seed now and again?

How about growing Pink Brandywine? Two for the price of one  :)

I have planted up six in the black buckets and six more are a week or so away from final potting, they are a mixture of Delight, Beeftseak and Alicante.    ;D ;D ;D

Ginormous, Tony!  Remind us how & when you sowed, & how grown on?

[Sparkly]

After always sowing my toms far too early as previously we didn't have a greenhouse, I sowed by toms really late this year. I think I actually left it too late. Mine are still tiny (only just beyond true leaf stage). Not good! I can't make my mind up to bear with these ones or to just go out and buy some plants. We have a greenhouse now and I was hoping to put the toms and cucumbers planted out in there next week. Yours look great Tony. I do actually have 1 dwarf cherry plant in flower that I planted back in November. Wanted to get a few more than that this year though!

Can't all be professionals!!  Late, but we'll get there.

But WHY can I NEVER get a truss to set uinder a foot? Except, in this case, for Costoluto & Whippersnapper (thanks Tony!) ?

PS The green posts are to keep the hose off the plants.

Well, for a change I actually do have some flowers on some of my plants......but.....they are still in 4" pots and not in their final positions yet!

I blame the plant sale, I haven't got room in my greenhouse until I have a clear out then..... ;D

[saddad]

Bring some stuff up to the big greenhouse if you want to put them into position Deb...  :)
