If so perhaps we can get back to talking about tomatoes instead of throwing rotten ones at each other.

Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

Originally posted by ButternutSquash View PostI heard back from T&M, and it is NOT an F1 hybrid, but it has the characteristics of one i.e. plant uniformity and yield. So several online sellers have this described incorrectly. I'm glad it is not F1, it means seed can be saved. Definitely one to be tried.

I won't be bothering with the Red Pear we had free with the magazine again next year unless they excel themselves in the next few weeks."A life lived in fear is a life half lived."

Assuming our taste in tomatoes is similar, what would be your recommendation to me for next year? I've already bought 'Black Cherry'.
cucumber, ripe sungold tomatoes halved, slices of raw red onion, green sweet pepper, spring onions, lettuce (or watercress or spinach), proper greek feta cheese, kalamata olives (or the giant green olives), dried oregano, salt,fresh ground black pepper, a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil,plus loads of fresh basil or a bit of fresh garden mint and some fresh parsley... sometimes we also add anchovies to the salad
even when we have vistors, I allow the children to pick tomatoes .... the ripe sungold are always the ones that get picked and eaten first
they are a bit like sweetcorn .... they taste best when harvested if they are fully ripe ... and you have to eat them immediatelyLast edited by dim; 21-08-2014, 02:43 PM.

The Black Cherries do need picking before they look really ripe though, as by then they've gone a bit soft, IMO
You may have to eat a few, before you work that out, thoughLast edited by Thelma Sanders; 21-08-2014, 06:55 PM.
