    I grew 4 plants (in the nearest 2 growbags) Took armpits from them for the next 2 Growbags on the shelf, and later in the year, took some more armpits and grew a 3rd lot of toms which were still cropping in November.
    Nice tasting, stripy, cherry toms.
    They'll be sown this week.

    Awesome VC, what is that massive plant at the back of the GH?
    I grow 70% for us and 30% for the snails, then the neighbours eats them

            What are you going to do in year 10? and i know well about peach leaf curl, my parents planted about 7 or 8 and they all got it
            Did you grow it from a pip, i remember calling you a peach pip but do know if it was about his

              How many are you growing?
              Hmm, I think I let myself in for the 50 BUT some that are in the 50 swap are my favourites so I"ll probably just add gardeners delight, Alisa Craig and black icicle I'm just going to do 2 of each.

                I grow those two every year too!

                    Scarlet,
                    Now that I think about I haven't checked the post box since Monday, so maybe a surprise for me this evening...hopefully....
                    Don't worry, I will report once received
                    I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives....


                    ...utterly nutterly

                      I was just going to grow 2 plants of one single cherry type and take a few armpits from those to grow on as well, but then I saw it's Tigerella seeds in next month's mag. And I'm in the process of creating a database of all my seeds (it's taking a while) and I've not even got to tomatoes yet!

                        I'm currently looking at around 20 varieties at the moment. Some of those I'll be growing outside in a raised bed and some I'll be trying out in the new polytunnel. This is up from about a dozen varieties last year.

                            I'm guessing that Ryleh may be growing:-
                            Black Seaman
                            Black Icicle
                            White Queen
                            Orange banana
                            White Cherry
                            Black Krim

                            Just a guess, of course

                              Well, my guess is that the black icicle will be his favourite out of those 6 but he's growing 20! So I'd like to know what else he's chosen.

                                Indigo Rose
                                Dancing with Smurfs
                                Snow White
                                Taxi
                                Blue Kazakh
                                Chocolate Cherry
                                Black Opal
                                Gartenperle
                                Ghost Cherry
                                Matts Wild Cherry
                                Tumbling Tom
                                Maskotka
                                Black Cherry
                                Moneymaker
                                Golden Sunrise
                                Super Marmande
                                Ildi

                                So I guess that potentially makes 25
