Seed Circle Swap 1 2010-2011

[Jillyreeves]

Glad you all like my idea, I was also going to post it on the forum to share with everyone, as I guess not everyone will be reading this tread, but not sure what area to put the tread under ?????

[Jillyreeves]

Just another though on the pop up laundry baskets, I used the link to Wilko as an illustration of the kind of thing I was thinking about, easier than trying to explain. But I bet if we all have a look around in places like Home Bargains, Poundstretch or Pound shops some one could find them cheaper than £3. I will keep my eyes peeled and let you know if I see any.

Flum, where did you get your Red Zebra I've only seen Red Zebra for sale on moreveg but it's an F1

I've got Green Zebra - not red.

I've got a few spare Red Zebra seeds, from Real Seeds if anyone wants to grow them this year. I've always seen them listed as Heritage or open pollinated, perhaps there is an f1 sort too?

FF, Real Seeds and Nicky's nursery sell them.

Nickys Nursery sell Red Zebra as a Heritage seed , heres a link

Seeds Tomato Red Zebra

Wish I had some then I would send you a few, might be worth holding off buying any and seeing is you can get some on a swap from some else, failing that they may well be on my wish list for 2011 and if I buy them you can have some then

Must have been typing and didnt see Polys post

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

Sorry Flummery

Sorry Flummery

No problem! I grew green tiger this year but I didn't save any seeds. I found them tough and not particularly tasty.

Oh dear, Im growing them this year, but then taste is subjective and I remain positive

Did you grow them under cover or outside Flum?

[Flummery]

One in the greenhouse and one in a tub near the back door. True about flavour though. It's hard to get 2 people to agree on their favourite tom!

Toms:
Super Roma
Outdoor Girl
Moneymaker
Marmande
Red Cluster Pear

Summer Crookneck
Early Golden Crookneck
Spaghetti
Atlantic Giant
Early Golden Hubbard

I think these should all fit the criteria? Please feel free to erase any that dont cut the mustard.
