Title: Toms pepper and fennel.
Post by: carolinej on January 14, 2007, 11:06:51
Hello,

I have some cayenne pepper seed, florence fennel Chiarino and tomato Costoluto fiorentino, that I have left over from last year. They have to go as I am really keen on growing different things this year, especially squashes, which I have found make wonderful soups.

Does anyone have any squash seed, other than butternut, that they would like to swap for them?

They were quite big and quite ugly bumply, but had a lovely sweet flavour. I grew them in the conservatory last year. They did quite well, but I lost a few to blossom end rot, Probably because it got so hot in there (44 degrees one day when I forgot to open the doors till 11am!), so keeping up with the watering was a nightmare :o.

I grew one plant in a growbag outside, put in far too early really, but I didnt haver the space indoors. When it got going, it really enjoyed the hot summer, and had more toms on it than the indoor ones. For me, the outdoor grown one had the best flavour.
