      Big Boys have germinated, Big Zaks too, I may get a few decent sized tomatoes if we get a decent summer?

        My Delicious have germinated, I'm only going to grow one plant this time, that's all I have room for.

          John, I know Delicious holds the world record but if you're ever passing by Muswell Hill on the North Circ, drop in and I'll give you few other contender plants!

            The same applies to any "locals", I'll have more than enough for my needs and would like good homes for my surplus, early days yet but I'll update again when I've potted on the individual plants.

                Here's my only plant (Delicious), looking a bit sorry for itself. I grafted it onto a rootstock a week ago. Another few days and I'll know if it's successful.

                    The two on the sides look good Loli :)

                    Why is Better Boy so much smaller?
