    As long as they grow and are tasty - who cares?
    There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore and who always will. Don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it in your future.

      If at first you don't succeed, open a bottle of wine.

        Best description I've heard is ... a fruiting vegetable ...

              Just looked up the definition of fruit, cos I was starting to doubt myself! "Ripened reproductive body of a plant"

              Therefore, tomatoes, courgettes, cucumbers, peppers etc are fruit.

              Peas, beans are classified as legumes which is something else.

              And rhubarb, which everyone thinks is a fruit must actually be a vegetable.

                Talking of tomatoes, I followed a link from the adds on the 'vine yesterday, and found this http://www.joyfultomato.com/special_report.html

                The guy on here talks of removing all the leaves from your tomato plants, except for 3?

                I've heard of removing leaves if blight strikes, and to encourage ripening at the end of the season, but does he actually have a point? Is it something we should be doing? Or is he just out to make a fast buck?

                Any ideas or advice anyone?

                (sorry for hijacking the thread Snadger, but as I wasnt sure whether to post it in Fruit or Veg categories I thought it best to tack it on here!)

                  Ok, I'm not going to think about it any more because I'll only get confused, and it doesn't take much.
