              I trust you've seen the throw away c0mment by @Jack McHammocklashing re: his Angelina tomatoes Loli?

              At least Angelina's Bulgarian beauties are doing me well, still green but 14" girth :-)

                    Not measuring mine 'cos I'm not in the competition but I have one or two that are doing rather well........ I'm just not happy that the yankee "Big Zac" (F1) is slightly ahead of our Brit "Big Boy" (Non F1), another month or so and the result will be in, regardless, I'll keep on growing "Big Boy" purely on the grounds of it's reliability, taste and seed is easily obtainable.

                    Also gonna try some "Country Taste", just seen the pictures of Freddy's and quite impressed, I just hope they taste as good as they look?

                      Sorry to digress.

                      John, that's a handsome specimen :blue thumb: I'll probably try a few different ones next year, and I'd be interested to know how you rate it, for flavour:blue thumb:
