Flavour and tomatoes
 
snip stuff about slow germinating tomato seeds
I,ve germinated seeds in the house and transferred plants to the
greenhouse when the time was right. However, I've changed tack now.
The hassle and wastage from a packet of seeds is not worth it. I now
buy plants from garden centres. 79p may seem expensive compared to a
packet of seed, but it's not compared to buying tasteless tomatoes.

But you simply can't buy plants of the strain I've sown ... or if you can
I've never seen them.

The message
from Howard contains these words:

And when I get a round tuit I'm building a vintage-ish bitza out of
vintage-ish bitz.

Would an A10 cylinderhead gasket be any good to you?


Not really, thanks. Well, not at all, really. The engine I'm using is a
1929 197cc Villiers....

Good point Mary. I suppose I should qualify what I said. I'm not a
tomatoe afficianado and I'm not trying to grow less widely
available/unavailable varieties. Sungold, Gardeners Delight, Pixie
(can't find that now), and a few others that I can't remember have all
been so much nicer and tastier than anything bought.
I suppose what I'm saying is I don't really care what it is because if
it's home grown it'll knock spots off any bought tom:-)
