Title: Quiz?game? how well do you know your tomatoes ?
Post by: Jeannine on April 20, 2010, 23:14:23


En route to me is a seed packet among which is a tom which the sender has not named..I have to guess, I just keep getting clues. I am completely stumped but it has been fun racking my brains and I thought it may be a good game for here too. I am not giving the clues to the tom mentioned as I have given up on  it yet.

Please join in with answers, new things or whatever and yes you can go off topic.

eg.  A few tomatoes.

FIRST ONE.

Clue..This 3 worded variety sounds like it should grow in a festive season.

SECOND ONE

This one worded variety sounds like it  should avoid  men called David

THIRD ONE   

This two worded one guarantees happy gardeners.

and they are not too hard.

i was going to say plum lemon, or orange banana.

I had no idea there were so many varieties!

As no- has attempted my circus man yet, here's another one-  "He could be confused with a deckchair"  (it's not the same one!)

Come now Jeannine.... I thought it couldn't be gardeners delight because you had used the word gardener in the clue.   ;D ;D ;D   But why is "not hard" in the clue for that one, please?
