    Hiya Jenny:)

    All 'Sungold', my favourite by some distance. As an aside, I did actually buy some 'Maskotka' seed last year in the autumn sale. Of course, because of the move, all plans went out of the window, but that's ok. Next year I'll give your method a go, in baskets. The seed should still be fine:blue thumb:

    Oooh luvvly Freddy. For some inexplicable reason, I gave out all the Sungolds and forgot to keep any back. If you have some spare seed next year please...:wub2:

      My indigo rose have been black and full size for at least a week. They are just doing it to annoy me cos they know I'm itching to slice one open, but they are still rock hard.

      So unfortunately your shiny darlings probably have a while yet to go/grow.

        I picked the first tomato today 'Golden Pearl', in between a small and medium fruit and yet to be tasted. :)
