    :biggrin:I like that....

    Edit : It'll be interesting to see how it does in our climate. Could be a real winner?

      I would enter the competition, Though I would hate to disapoint you all
      with my "Angelina's Bulgarian Beauty's" :-)

      I will let you know how they go though, the fruits are about an inch across already and I only planted the seed this morning :-)

        Oh well I chose Moneymaker as it's suppose to be easy to grow in our climate... We'll see, if i don't like it, I'll grow something else next year. I must say I prefer a full size tomato to cherry varieties...

        Freddy, in her PM to me on 9th January, Angeline said:
        " I have requested my dear friend and neighbour at my late Grandmother's village to harvest some from her plants for me. It's in the North West of Bulgaria, but it is a lowland and much hotter there. This is where mine originally came from. Hers will be much better ripened and robust".

            Freddy,
            I have no GH and my OH would NOT permit them to become fully grown in the bedroom thru' Summer. He grumps about them being on the window ledge for 6 weeks !

            Only got a 14 ft x 12 ft patio area Freddy. Just about room for a 3 shelf mini GH thru' Winter which is transferred to the back of the garage late Spring. Then all the pots vie for space alongside a garden bench so it gets a bit choc a bloc in Summer ,

                  Very interesting Jack, thanks for the link. Lovely songs she sings there. One very skilled and very talented lass isn't she? Singer, photographer( very good ) and a knowledgable gardener too.
                  Only the best here on GC you know ...
