Ray picked about 3 doz. Jersey Sunrise this morning. They're in one of the

I had my first Million Bells tomato from the greenhouse this afternoon and won't be long before they're in proper production abw. Isn't fruit extraordinary this year outdoors. Strawberries, raspberries, goosegobs and loganberries all in plentiful supply with blackcurrants and blackberries coming along well in the outside lane. -- Rowdens Reservoir Allotments Association www.rraa.moonfruit.com Feed the soil, save the planet |

Everything's doing well even in Yorkshire. we had a raspberry pavolova this evening. But I noticed that my autumn raspberries are fruiting already, large but not yet coloured. Mary |

Lucky lucky you, how did they taste ? kate Slobber! ;-) It's the taste and the scent for me. The scent takes me straight back to childhood. Ray was also a bit cockahoop because the tea room ran out of cucumber and he produced one, straight off the plant. ;-) -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon (new website online but not completed - shop to come and some mild tweaking to do!) |

I can't get The Boss to grow anything for us other than cucs and toms and those are to spoil me. But this year he has put in lots more tomato plants so that the tea room can benefit too. Don't know Million Bells tomatoes, only Petunias (Calibrachoa)! Are the Million Bells toms like Tumbler? They are small cherry size tomatoes and plenty of them. Vanessa is a regular size tom that has fruit right up the stem and beginning to ripen.

We found last year that the outdoor toms got blight and the indoor ones didn't.

Our tomatoes are laughable, we had a greenhouse in England but not here. I notice that the villagers have polytunnels, which they have made themselves. I want one but ready made, the only ones in the shops are too small, I want a walk in one, any ideas Sacha? Judith |

It doesn't matter what it looks like as it will be on the field backing onto our garden where Edward grows all his veggies. We can easily run electricity from the barn to there. Judith |
