Did we ever discover what had happened to this company which was based in
Devon? I have a faint recollection that they were American originally but
can't recall what happened to the English set up.

Ah, so that's where it went. Thank you for finding that. They used to be
in Newton Abbot, I think but perhaps it just wasn't commercially viable to
remain as an independent company.

A similar worthy supplier I've used this year is "Plants of
Distinction" (Suffolk)

As greenhouse tomatoes this year from them I am enjoying:-
Ananas Noir Taste
Austin's Red Plum Yield, cooking
Souix Taste and Yield
Santa Taste
Ferline Yield and Appearance
Tommy Toe Great taste.

also
Aviro and RonCardo (from elsewhere)

Interesting to hear what others grow. We've only grown Jersey Sunrise this
year and it's done fantastically well in the prop house. Ray is a bit
conservative about what he will grow, having grown them commercially for so
many years and I have a problem persuading him to try 'fancy' ones!
