Allotments 4 All

We use these loads in cooking and also eating raw (obviously!) and its the one thing I am struggling to find a decent variety of
Thanks!

We always grow 'Santa'. There is also a yellow Santa.
We freeze lots for stews & things.
Marshalls do 'Tropical Ruby'.

I grew Roma last year, they were very good.

I grew Harlequin last year, and they were very tasty.  Expensive with only 8 seeds to a packet, but I snapped up some more in the Wyevale sale   ;) , so will be growing it again.

Roma's fine - but not baby??

 :-[ oops

I have seeds of

Yellow pear,they look like  small  oval christmas lights,
Rienstube,oval red cherries in bunches.

These are the only two oval  shaped cherries I have, as I had my seed case stolen off my lot 2 weeks ago,I did get many of the seeds back  they had blown all over the site,as they had been dumped and fortunatly  as I repack eveything  in zippie bags the were dirty but protected from thr rainbut some were missing along with the case .

Would you like a few seeds. I am happy to share them

we grew 'Principe Borghese' last year in the Greenhouse, cropped like crazy until mid November. Fruits +/- 15 grm and slightly pointed at outer end (not Plum shaped really)

lovely flavour and sweet, am under orders to grow again this year  ;)

Aunty Madge, it also seems blight resistant,and cold weather tolerent,

HDRA variety. / shades x

We always grow 'Santa', they're lovely to use in salsa's and you always get loads of them. ;D

Linda.

I also grew harlequin last year and they were brilliant, very prolific and sweet.  I grew mine outside and they did really well.  Am growing them again this year, I also managed to pick them up in the great wyevale clear out :D

Santa if you want an F1-otherwise Aunty Madge. Santa might just shade it but it`s a close call

Grew Baby plum Santa last year, they were fine, am trying Ruby this year.

Santa here, too, but goodness they were expensive £3.45 for 10! Haven't met 'Aunty Madge' before, will look out for them.  :)

After much internet trawling I got my Santa from Simpsons at £1.50 for 6 seeds.

I think Moles were the cheapest but the quantities were too large. Perhaps we Santa fans should club together for a bulk buy next year?

I'm also trying Juliet (another F1  ???) this year - a slightly larger relative of Santa.

Just found a packet of Sweet Olive. Not tried these before and there again they were a silly price.(I think I must have bought them in my sleep). Hoping for great things ;D

I had a huge crop of Sweet Olive last year, it was very fast growing and prolofic; not terribly good tasting though, but I'm going to give it another go this year as I've some seed left over....

Take a look at www.tomatogrowers.com   It is in the US I buy a lot of mt tomato seeds from them, they are not the cheapest for postage,works out to about £4 irrespective of how much you order. I have an order in there at the moment, but I have sent a message  to delay shipping as I realised I wanted soemthing else.If anyone wants to take the oppertunity I can include your seeds in my order with no postage execpt a stamp at my end to get them to you. It is a super site.The prices are in US dollars but as a rough guide halve it and you will just about be in £s

eg 30 seeds  of Sugary a baby plum which is $2.80 would work out to about £1 40.

Anyone interested let me know, I will hold off my order till Wednesday evening
