    Hi Marion,

    This year I am growing Corno di Torro, Corno Rosso and Eves Apple.
    I grew Corno Rosso last year and Corno di Torro the year before and I have found them both delicious and bountiful. There is a possibility that they are one and the same variety but I am not 100% sure.

    I get a lot of my seeds form Simpsons and some from T & M.

    Regards
    Victoria

              Will be growing California Wonder - good, reliable variety, and seeds free from GYO!!

                Lipstick - originally from Real Seeds, now saved
                Orange Bell - Real Seeds
                Sunnybrook - Real Seeds, new this year
                Redskin dwarf ones - can't remember, posibly T&M, grew them last year on the window ledge for a nice early crop

                Re Californian Wonder, I don't like them much as I find they're rather tasteless and poor cropping so it shows that different people like different plants.

                Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                  Tried sweet peppers for the first time last year (can't remember variety without looking it up) and not sure i'm going to try them again this year. They took ages & ages & ages to grow to a decent size & even longer to ripen - everything else was finshed by the time they were ready. Also they were totally plagued by whitefly, absolutley covered despite french marigolds being planted underneath, regular blastings with the hosepipe & finally squirtings with bug spray

                    I've got a few big banana seeds from a member here via the seed swap, and I'm also growing world beater (I think that may be an f1, not sure)
