Over the years I have grown tomatoes and had good success, however I have
now been told that they are linked to the arthritic feeling I get in my
hands. I stopped eating them and the feeling went away so there must be
some truth in the matter. (Mores the pity as I love a freshly picked tomato)

Can anyone suggest a crop that I can grow next year that will take up a
similar amount of space and be just as nice picked and eaten straight off
the plant?

Cheers
Steve
