Default Oh for Tesco's sprouts

The message
from "Rupert" contains these words:

Results: -- Not bad really. Cucumber about the size of a sausage but tasted
just like cucumber.


OK - try growing them under polythene cloches at the very least. IME
last season was *NOT* good for cucumbers, even under glass.

Tomatoes --excellent yield and tasted of buga all.


Most commercial varieties (especially Moneymaker) do taste of SFA.

Try Ailsa Craig, Shirley or Alicante, in that order of (my) preference.

Some of the so-called 'vine tomatoes' also have good flavour, but I
couldn't specify a variety.
