Plants...Tomatoes, squashes & cucumbers | From ?1


Recommended Posts

Updated listing 1st June


Just toms & tomatillos left....


TOMATOES - large plants ?2 | small plants ?1


Large plants are around 30cm in height (from base to top of plant) with good root systems. Most already have flowers so tomato-time won't be far away. Pop them into larger pots, grow bags or direct into the earth in a sunny spot and they will grow at a crazy speed. We grow our plants in buckets with holes drilled in the bottom - perfect!


Available?


1. Verna Orange | 3 large plants

Large oxheart fruits. Dense, meaty, sweet in flavour.


2. Cernetu | 3 large plants

A bit of a mystery. I purchased the seed at a Seedy Sunday event from the HSL stand but can find no information about it! I daresay I bought it because it sounded interesting so I can't imagine it will be a disappointment.


3. Ailsa Craig | 3 small plants

Vigorous, early-maturing, all purpose variety producing medium sized fruit.


4. Green Zebra | 2 large and 2 small plants

Attractive lime green fruits. It?s ripe when the green striping turns yellow . Sharp & zingy flavour.


5. Sungold |1 large (?1.75 as I knocked off a few leaves!) & 2 small plants

Sweet cherry tomato. Thin-skinned, bite-bized, deep orange fruit.


6. Gardener's Delight |3 small plants

A reliable favourite.


TOMATILLOS

5 plants left. ?1.25 each


These are related to cape gooseberries and tomatoes. They have a tart, lime-like flavour and can be used in salsas, sauces etc



SQUASHES & CUCUMBERS - ALL GONE


If space is limited these can all be grown up trellis or wigwam supports.


1. GONE Burpless Tendergreen Cucumber - ?1.25

A sweet, non-bitter cucumber that can be grown outside.


2. GONE Turks Turban Squash - ?1.50


3. GONE Butternut Squash Hawk - ?1.50

Sweet-flavoured, fast-maturing variety.


4. GONE White Scallop Squash - ?1.50

Attractive all-white variety of squash that looks like a space-ship.


Collection from Forest Hill. Weekends and evenings work best.


Thanks.

Sorry Natty, the sungold have just been reserved for someone else!


I have a few small sungold plants you can have for a ?1 each - about 10cm in height(from top of pot to top of plant). If interested please PM me. They're about 3 weeks behind the larger plants.

    • Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
    • If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.
    • You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.
