Nobody ???

I hate waste - surely someone could give a little growing space to some of these ?!

Sorry can't help Heather. Sad

Apart from the fact that we don't have any space to grow anything, the chickens will just eat them anyway. Confused

The last 2 years we have grown tomatoes, but with such poor results I don't think we'll even bother this year.

We just don't have the knack. Embarassed

Heather
Are your yellow tomatoes cherry size or big size?
(Sorry not a very good gardener when it comes to names - but had great success with a small yellow one last year - and a mammoth disaster with big red ones!)

I can't actually remember Debs , but I have a feeling they are big size and plum shaped - will look in the catalogue later and see if they still have them

Thanks for the links Nigel.
Those weren't the ones I was thinking of. These tomatoes were the size of cherry tomatoes but yellow. I would remember the name if someone mentioned it!!! LOL

I'll take whatever is left if that is OK. I have just received a call saying I can have my allotment in two weeks time. How happy am I?

Woooooohoooo!

we would be gratefull for any seeds going free and especially if anyone has parsnip seed as we cant seem to find parsnip seed here and its called parni which is near enough...........Uk seeds seem to have a better fretility rate than local ones maybe it is just us ..........thanks mojo
