I may be old and sticky...  :P

Thanks folks..determined to try to stay, fingers crossed and nuff said but you didn't think I was gonna not win this competition did you..

So, off the top of my head I shall be sowing Big Zac  and Hoy for sure and a couple of others still to decide.

Here is hoping the rains don't cream us this year over here.

We have another plot, tiny as it is but it will help.

So just off to read all the thread and try to get around to answering the backlog of PMs.

Lovely to hear form you.

Jeannine hidihi, great to see you back  :)

Your Brandywine are still in their packet.........2/3 weeks' time might see a few in the prop, then some directly sown into the greenhouse border and some at the plot much later.

Covering all angles  ;D

I had an awful year 2011 with my toms in the greenhouse. The tomato moth got them and they were covered in caterpillars. I hope I can sort this out this year!

Good luck everyone..we never made any rules.. but do we really need them,,supposed to be a fun thing after all..what do you folks think..

the only one I can think of is pictures on a scale and yes green is OK.

I've just made the labels ready..packets are cut open..compost warmed up..kitchen is covered with newspaper for my mess..made some room into propagator...pots are stacked up ready for filling up..
...the game is on..! ;D
I'm just about to sow..Delicious, Giant Belgium, Giant Navikova and Neve's Azorean Red. The last one is the not the 'traditional' choise for the giant comps...but I've researched some bits on net..and the name does pop up now and then being able to produce some really biggen's..so its not hurting to try one's luck.. ;) ;D

Well..swaps, shopping on net..all over the place.. ;D That Giant Navikova is from Seemnemailm..estonian seedshop.
Others I've long forgotten where they originally arrived from.. ::)
I used to buy quite a few bits from aniolekaseeds..but then something did go wrong with the business (if my memory serve me right) and haven't heard nothing from them anymore.
There is so many seed sources now... ;D..lucky for us..

Jeannine
