You had a James Captain? My first bike was a James Commando (in 1968,
although it was far from new) Much later I used to enjoy confusing
people
by
telling them my first bike was a commando :-))

I had a James Commodore, then a Triumph Cub, then a pre-unit Bonnie ...
and
then a husband who didn't approve :(

I had a Rudge when I was eight then a build when I was eighteen then it was
stolen and I couldn't race any more then a Carlton (passed on) then we went
to tandems because of sidecars, seats and trailers - I rode a Curly Hetchins
tandem solo when I was pregnant because I couldn't ride fixed wheel.

The bike I have at the moment doesn't have a name, well it might but I
haven't ridden it since my bc surgery. I'd like to ...

Ha, just the group I need.

I would like to get hold of some tomato seeds that will produce
deliciously flavoured tomatoes.


No matter what the variety, the one vital ingredient guaranteed to
tantalise the taste buds is ..... liquid sheep purl manure,
colloquially referred to in days of yore as 'sheep dip.'


But I have no clue about where to start looking.


Find a sheep and you won't have to look far. ;-)

decent taste and only eat those we grow ourselves. Commercially produced
tomatoes really are tasteless and watery.

just the reason for my enquiry!

Flavour and tomatoes
 

I don't know how motor bikes got into this, but my first was a 197 James
then a 350 AJS then a 350 Matchless.
And to think that if I had put a side car on the Matchless then the Comp
insurance would have dropped 50% from £3.15s
to 37/6p per year.
Then went over to an old Morris 8 finally got rid of that when it wanted
another engine and I didn't think it was worth paying £25.00 for the local
garage to get an engine from the scrap yard, strip it down, rebuild and fit
it.

Now regarding Tomatoes with flavour, half the secrete is not to over feed
and over water them, grow them hard and you will have smaller, acid sweet
tomatoes. But if you have stomach problems you will be better off with Plumb
tomatoes, they have a much lower acid content, but take about 3 weeks longer
to come into fruit.

Flavour and tomatoes
 

The message
from "Mary Fisher" contains these words:

I ordered seven varieties noted for flavour from Chase (HDRA), they arrived
some time later than my visa was debited and I sowed them the same day in
exactly the same way as I always do, in the greenhouse.

That was two weeks ago. The lettuce, cabbage and sprouts have germinated but
not the tomatoes. I'm even more disgruntled now, the seeds were expensive
and there weren't many.

Unless your greenhouse is very well heated, you'll wait at least another
week, maybe a fortnight - unless we get a spell of really sunny weather.

Grrrrrrrrr

Don't be impatient. I would have planted them inside in trays or
individual pots.

I would put it at 75%. Last year, I grew Gardeners Delight, Red Alert
and Ailsa Craig on the same small plot with identical treatment.

The Red Alert was Ok to eat, very early and little work
The Ailsa Craig gave pleasant medium sized fruit and was rather a thug.
The Gardeners Delight were packed with that real tomato flavour form a
golden age when tomatoes were real tomatoes ...
