Default Tomato glut?

Thank you, yes we have the meaty tomatoes, but now I see that "Seeds of
Italy" have gone on annual leave for a few weeks so I can't order one
anyway. Sod's law! :-(


Being Italian, they'll probably be back after Ferragosta - 15th August which
was the date of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. It's quite extraordinary
that during August the beaches of e.g. Sardinia are absolutely crammed with
holidaying Italians from Rome and that after that date, you'd think winter
had come early!
