Title: tomato query
Post by: tomatoada on May 26, 2006, 16:53:45
I bought 3 tomato plants from Thompson and Morgan through an offer in the Daily Mail.  They are called Tomazing.   Has anyone else bought them and can you tell me if they are bush or cordon.  I forgot to keep the ad.. Many Thanks.

The only T&M plant I can find is Tomaccio - a cordon?

'The sweetest tom in the world'!!

Yes - they only had the one in their catalogue - as plants.

Interesting that both are 'the sweetest'?

Perhaps they are joint first.  ;)

Sorry to sound a bit cynical but as a `hobby business` grower I find the concept of nearly £10 for three plants a bit irksome-I only ask 50p :( and I have a decent range-just don`t ask for Moneymaker ;D

Economically, Stephan, yes - even I have a cut-off point on price.

But, if someone wants home-grown come Hell, come High Water, well - what's money?? SO delicious!!

Still hurts though??

Tim I can understand a `mark up`-I supply a couple of places and they have to make a living so what I get is far less than the buyer pays-they should visit me-but I don`t have the time nor premises to be on call all the time. That`s the way of things. When I am `in` it`s 50p from here otherwise it`s a bit more from the places I supply-but what T&M are asking is basically a rip off.

I KNOW!  But we'll pay anything to get the thing of our desire with the least effort?

I mean - I sometimes buy in brassica plants at 15-20p each. How stupid can you get?
