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.

    • @HeadNun I haven't been through the assessment for mental health issues, god knows they treat you like you have one when you are assessed for motability issues. Therefore I can't comment on what you've read but don't always believe what the media telks you as they often sensationalise things to sell papers and bend the story slightly 😉  All I am doing in this thread is asking people who disagree to the PIP reform in its current format to write to their MP to say so and ask for a well consulted and thought through change. I'm not here to change people's minds but happy to discuss how disability impacts lives.
    • I hate the idea of someone with a genuine disability losing money, it's heart-breaking. I thought the whole idea of these cuts was to get kids with mental health issues, which we used to call 'the human condition', off benefits and into a job. Before anyone says anything, I'm not talking about people with severe autism.  If the tests are so astringent, Spartacus, how come healthy youngsters with anxiety are getting benefits? It's ludicrous.  This from The Times:  Then there is mental health. This is the fastest-growing category of claim; anxiety and depression is now the single biggest reason to claim PIPs, accounting for 16 per cent of spending. Including problems such as autism and ADHD, there are 1.4 million people claiming for “psychiatric disorders”, almost 40 per cent of the total.   NHS figures on Thursday found that 23 per cent of people of working age now have a mental disorder, up from 18 per cent a decade ago, rising to 26 per cent in 16 to 24 year-olds. Young people are most likely to claim benefits for mental health problems and there is growing concern about a generation who may do so for decades. The number of children on disability living allowance, the precursor to PIPs, will reach a million by the end of the decade, double pre-Covid levels. Most of these are for behavioural problems such as ADHD or learning disabilities
