      Hiya Jenny.

      I don't save seed. Next year in the greenhouse, I'll be growing the same again, Sungold and Rosada, both hybrids. I have a plan to build another greenhouse, for some other varieties. I already have the seed, bought half price from a garden centre in Newton Abbot, and Trago Mills, also in Newton Abbot. Sorry, I digress:) Anyway, I will have some seed left over, no doubt. I can't remember off the top of my head what they are, although I'm pretty sure there's Roma(a plum type) and Cuore Di Bue(an oxheart/beef type). I have no idea how they taste, but you are welcome to have some of those, if you'd like? BTW, these are also supposed to be ok for outdoors.

          NO don't do that - I've got at least 30+ packets of T&M Sungold still left from when they were selling them at 20p/packet last year and were silly enough not to limit amount of packets per order and I had the foresight to order loads before they restricted to 1 pkt per order.

          I'll swop you a pkt of 10 Sungolds for some for some of your saved Maskotkas seeds

              I've grown Gardeners Delight, Moneymaker and ferline this year.

              Didn't really like the taste of gardeners delight not as good as Ferline for me.

              Sorry Freddy I missed your question :old:

              Well I haven't had that many ripe Ferline fruit this year, having grown them outside, but I've checked them again on the plant and that's the shape of mine. I would think we are growing the same thing Freddy, mine are actually Ferline F1 bought from Nicky's Nursery this year. Where did you buy your seed from?
