If your Roma is the same as our Roma Weedo, it's totally different ... apart from a similarity in fruit shape. The Roma I've grown tend to produce fruit on average 8 to 10 cm long, where these are about 4 to 5 cm long. Also according to my tasting notes, Roma is pretty much tasteless where Teardrop ...

It's heritage open pollinated and from sowing to first ripe fruit is 120 days, midway between Paul Robeson (115) and Stupice (125), but it is a quite tall cordon to 6' 0"

Seed available shortly

Yuk

Yup, pretty much on a par with brussel sprouts in my book.

There are some weird people about.
I love both and actually look forward to the first Brussels sprouts every year.

I forgot to mention my Garlic and Onions did very well this year. My Garlic cloves are huge, almost as big as Elephant garlic, which may be because of the weather or could be because I've been selecting large bulbs to replant every year for some time. My tomatoes and Peppers are also doing well of c...

I haven't been around much lately so apologies for the block postings when I have the time. I grow tomatoes for specific reasons and I have been trying over the years to arrive at some preferred varieties. The uses for them are; Bottling, Puree, Breakfast Frying, Drying, Early Windowsill and eating ...

I commented on another thread about my problems growing peas this year, I thought I might comment on the pros and cons of this year's weather. Swings and roundabouts springs to mind Cons are; Apples and Pears are fairly sparse, due I think to the cold wet flowering time that kept the bees away, pota...

First pick of peas today for freezing. I grow them every year specifically for freezing for the winter (along with sweetcorn) for when we get fed up with cabbage and sprouts, or when it's too nasty to go outdoors and get something fresh. I do also grow shorter rows for eating fresh in season. Anyway...

Greetings from West Cork
I hope you find our forum interesting as you're among like minded friends.

I've often thought I'd like to grow liquorice, but have yet to actually do so.
It should be OK in your garden, after all it was once grown commercially in Yorkshire (Pontefract) and so obviously can survive frosts and wet weather.
Now you've got me thinking about growing some again

I certainly wouldn't, mainly because it must hurt.
I do trim them with scissors every now and then though, otherwise I would end up looking like Denis Healey.

Hi there Rainbow P, welcome back.
If you like I could reactivate you old account, complete with all the posts you made before, plus you could choose which username you like best.
Anyway, nice to see you again

Ah well .... You will have to study the catalogues for small varieties. Of course you are lucky as there are very many tomato varieties that have been bred for container growing, along with other tender veg, courtesy of modern UK homes with about a square metre patio for a garden. Years ago there we...

I'm not as disciplined as Odsox Neither is Odsox :lol: The one downside is the growing area isn't deep enough to hold a cane so we've got some barely supported plants. So the project for next year is to devise some sort of external frame. Nah, what you need is a lean-to greenhouse on the other side...

When I got some equipment a few years ago I mistakenly bought what I thought was an airlock bung. It looked like one but it fitted over the demijohn neck instead of inside (like a cork) That might be what you want. https://www.homebrewwest.ie/carboy--demijohn-rubber-cap-60-mm-with-hole-for-airlock-4...

It looks like it's just the one plant.

In that case all those totally green leaves will variegate as they age.
