    I have some special tumbling cherry tomatoes from Madeira which my friend brought back .... they are delicious and you guys will be getting some..... xx They live all year round here but think you'll have to keep a tom or tom for following years ....... :)

    AG, your still mad, Good Mad tho. The Flowers (theres more in there) were to make it look more interesting, i didn,t realise the Tom would get so big..:)
    Bobj i had all intentions this year to grow the strawberries but left it to late :( I had this idea in my head, that if earwigs can,t fly they wont get me strawbs...Hahaha
    LoL Licorice is my favourite sweet, i wish i could grow it, :)

    I am a certified nutter to my friends which include all of you :D

    Dee didnt you know? Marigolds are supposed to keep green fly at bay so you have stumbled on a fantastic move there :D
