Funny you should say that because....I was about to stop growing Shirleys
(in previous years watery and tasteless) but this year they have proved to
be absolutely superb! Bigger fruits and heavier trusses, good texture and
wonderful flavour. So they may survive another year after all.
The tumblers, gardeners delight and "horded" Marshalls experimental plums
have been as good as ever.

I'm the least likely member of this group to discuss food growing but has
anyone else noticed that tomatoes are watery and flavourless this year?
Our
are grown in large pots in a mix of soil and compost, in a large glass
house. Each year, until this one, they have tasted sublime. This year
they
ripened late, cropped poorly and taste of nothing much at all. ;-(
