Sharing the lurve with the VSP :)

[Guest]

Another thank you to Nellie-M and her lovely toms. This time Blue OSU and Striped Roman Oh and pea bean inca



Also another one for Lungo Bianco courgettes they seem to be a touch drier and sweeter than most courgettes and are producing well. TY Sarico.
TY VC for the boddington peas produced really well despite the birds pinching the tops out so they are drying for winter.

There are loads more but I have brain block

nellie-m I hope you see this. I have some of your Orange Banana tomato seeds

I grow orange banana every year -fab tomato that is great fresh as well as cooked.

nellie-m I hope you see this. I have some of your Orange Banana tomato seeds. Oddly enough not through the VSP but through a Pass the Parcel seed chain on another forum that I don't think you're a member of...Spooky how far seeds can travel! At any rate, I am betting they originated in the VSP or somehow from here as they have your name on them.
I think the tomatoes are fab and will be growing them regularly now. ]

Wow Sparrow, a bit spooky indeed! The Vine is the only gardening forum I'm on (and I hardly find the time to post even on this one...) so I really wish these packets could tell their story!

I agree, the Orange Banana is a fabulous tom and I originally got the seeds from SCARLET (see me waving?). Been growing them every year since, usually in the ground but as circumstances would have it, this year for the first time in large pots. This is also the first year that it suffers from blossom end rot, and massively so! A lot more than any other variety, so it will definitely go in the ground outdoors again next year where it has always been fine.

Thanks Scarlet for this great variety!

Thank you Chris. Much appreciated
There wouldn't be a VSP without the kindness of people like you. I'm just the postmistress in the middle
