Tomato Growing Competition 2012

Well done John this blight buisness has been a pain this year...I've never come across it before...luckily for me it hasn't reached my GH but my outdoor Maskotkas were finished a while back....The Beefmasters i grew for the first time turned out well and i was surprised just how tastey they were...think i'll give them another go next year

 

That's funny John, my Delicious have a great taste, not as refined as Big Boy but I'll certainly sow the last remaining seed I have next year.

I've just got to get some Big Zacs in for comparison

 

But they're an F1 and only available from Totally Tomatoes who don't ship to the UK. http://www.totallytomato.com/dp.asp?pID=00087&c=41&p=Big+Zac+Hybrid+Tomato

It would need somebody in the U.S. to purchase an re-ship them to the UK.

 

I know just the person, American working in London with family Stateside, thanks for the link Scrungee, she gets all her free range eggs from us for free, so can re-pay the favoUr lol

 

I'm up for an extra pkt if you can arrange it.

 

I'll up the order Scrungee!

 

Big Zac's have a low germination rate by all accounts. that's in the USA, I wonder how they will perform over here with we expert tomato growers?

 

Big Zak order sent!

 

Am I still in the lead competition wise? C'mon, someone's gotta beat me!

 

....
OK Vincey boy...beat this

 

You need this special variety for that:

But getting back to more serious matters, is it now time to declare the results of this contest? (although we are still awaiting the official weighing in of Zigs' Big Zogs)
