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. Jonny But you simply can't buy plants of the strain I've sown ... or if you can I've never seen them. Mary 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:-) Jonny |
