    If a plum tomato breaks the law when it’s young
    Would it’s criminal past ketchup with it later?

        G'Day Jimbo!

        If still available I would love your Swede Brora, Bolivian Rainbow Chilli and Squash Yellow Bush Scallop – all of which are allowed entry into Australia.

        If wanted I can send you:

        Basil Limelight (even more rare and more pretty than Lettuce Leaf) Limelight Basil - for looks and cooks!

        Tomato Brad's Black Heart (a shape mutation of Black Krim, see SEED SALES - PAGE 2)

        Tomato Chandler (see my description below)

        Chandler

        This came to me as a very rare English variety, not available commercially anywhere in the entire universe! It is dwarf in growth habit with beautiful, robust rugose foliage. The fruits are perfect orangey-red spheres of tombola size with thick walls. When picked as soon as the fruits have colored up they have a refreshing zing from their acid. When left to ripen up even more the fruits become very juicy and sweet with a lovely mild flavour. Its days to maturity (DTM) is less than 50 yet its flavour belies its earliness and it just 'whips the pants off' many other tomato varieties with a DTM double that of Chandler! It has been a real eye opener and so, so delicious!

        This variety performs admirably, both in the greenhouse/conservatory environment or outdoor garden. In the garden my plants grew to a maximum of three feet high with support. The supply of ripe fruits was continuous so this extended the enjoyment over a long period. This variety is a must for any serious tomato grower!

        My second plant of this variety produced fruits with a point at the blossom end. I have saved seeds from this plant separately. All other characteristics of this variety were exhibited in this second plant so there was no appreciable difference in flavor, fruit size etc.

        Let me know if interested.

        Cheers.

        Janek
        Happiness is being with the love of your life. If you can't have that, then an unlimited supply of well-rotted manure is a pretty close second!

          Cheers guys,
          I'm really specifically looking for these varieties as I've been told they will work for my rather rubbish plot!
          Enrich100 - done! will PM my address
          Norththepaul - will take you up on the chioggia, what do you want most the bolivian chillis or the marmande? will send you both if there are no more takers!
          Janek - sorry lovely, they all look fun but I don't think they'll do for my plot, seems silly to send them across the world, will get back to you if there are no takers!

                  Was he any relation to 'Torchy' or 'Paulus the little gnome'?


                  Squash Yellow Bush Scallop – all of which are allowed entry into Australia.

                  I have some of these to spare if you still want them, Janek, just send me a pm!
