Something new every year.

Fewer than last year because of age!!

What varieties this year Tim?

It`s a cross we have to bear Tim-someone has to keep trying new sorts as well as favourites

Actually - it was more the Airpots that are new to try.

New is just Orange Santa in place of Red. Duaghter like Orange, hence Summer Cider & Caro (she's Caroline) Rich.

Others are Nectar - always early, prolific & tasty,  & John Hawkins - the 'supermarket' Beef.

Big deal - this year I actually have things well staggered!

SC & CR - the last Nectar - JH

Tim, if that is what age can do then I shall look forward to catching you up.. a wonderfyl picture as always. But I have a serious complaint about you and after 5 years I just am bloomong well going to voice it.....do you have to show pictures of that super great big greenhouse..I am so envious of you well I could just swear.............................................knickers!! Well that is the best I an do!!

Jeannine, dear - fash ye not!1
This week we have been DIYing all the support bars that are crumbling away. I thought that Cedar lasted for ever. Oh, well - 35 years is not too bad for £200? Took 3 of us 2 days to fix. Despite the instructions!!
And, of course, it was shifted & twisted on its foundations in the famous Michael Fish 'tornado'. Never thought to screw it to the concrete block base. And one of the 8 auto-vents has just failed.

Any better??

PS It will cost far more to demolish it when the time comes than it cost!!

No, not a scrap.... but I love you for trying.. XX Jeannine

PS I would ask for a refund

let us know how the 'airpots' perform?

Will do!

Did a trial last Autumn & the root system was very good.

Tomatoes are looking good Tim and the Air-pots look very smart. Look forward to hearing how your tomatoes do in them.
