Ta for the idea NG - I was wondering if a 'normal' blackberry could go into a basket and then be used as the T&M one is.
Ummmmm!
Could one go into one of those upside down tomato planters? I have 2 of them in the shed - would give more root space..........Ummmmmm!
Off to the pound shop me thinks....................
SP - I'm sorry!
Everyone else - Thanks as normalLast edited by Lumpy; 30-01-2016, 05:59 AM.I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. Thomas A. Edison

VC has kindly just sent me some beefsteak varieties from the seed swap. I'm having a go with them this year. Never tried big uns before! Marigolds, grow wherever seed is randomly thrown. 20-odd pence a packet from lidl. Buy one pack and you've got them for life!You may say I'm a dreamer... But I'm not the only one...

I told myself and my wife that I'm not going to buy anymore seeds this season ,but I nearly failed this morning when I picked up my prepaid order from our potato day in Chesterfield ,it's very dificult there's so many shops selling all the lovely seeds that I need to try and now there's a £5000 prize for a tomato !
I do wish they would sell seeds in packets of 1 .LOL it's help I need atb Dal.Last edited by Dalrimple; 31-01-2016, 01:41 PM.Comment

Off topic but have you tried growing tomato's in those upside down tomato planters at all? and how did they come out? Always used to walk past them in T ...

Sorry Mark I have no idea if they work as I just picked 2 up for a £1 when the shop was clearing it's garden stuff.
My original intention was to put a Q in them but I think watering could be a problem as too much would make the stem rot.I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. Thomas A. Edison

No, I wouldn't bother with these. Like others say, they are just Marigolds when all is said and done.
As for the giant tomato, personally, I don't think we have a climate that is warm enough, or long enough to produce a tomato of this size.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

I must admit Ive been tempted by the fushia berries, I got some today at my local garden centre they had them on 3 for £10 for good sized healthy looking plants in the varieties recommended by Mark Diacono and James Wong as being really good for flavour. I'll see how I get on with them.Comment

I'm tempted by the blackberry as I'm currently in the market for one, and space is limited. However, free P&P no longer applies and I'm not sure I can justify £15 for what is essentially an experimentComment

I have found out that there is a dwarf variety called Little Black Prince that I am going to have an Oggle at to see if I can get one cheaper.I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. Thomas A. Edison
