Very interesting and heavy for one truss.  Are the seeds tiny?

If you have a few seeds to spare Manic I could swap you for a baby plum(lidls own) saved seed. It stays well on the truss for ages without going soft

I'll be saving some from the 30 or so still going(went a bit mad with tomatoes this year), Shirley..please don't swap with me, I have that many varieties of them, I haven't got room for them all  ;D
will send you some when they're ready  :)
the seeds are quite small, Grannie

I went out and purposely bought some oxheart seeds for next years sowing.  I grew 2 plants this year and the flavour was out of this world.  They sort of don't taste like tomatoes.  They have a really rich, meaty flavour.  GORGEOUS!!!
