Black Tomatoes ??

Our veggie box customers may notice some strange tomatoes this season and this is one of them - Black Tula a Russian heirloom that may be the ugliest and most delicious tomato you'll ever eat !  Rich and full flavoured

 

 

This deep reddish-brown Russian beefsteak variety is not as dark as some other "black" tomatoes, where it really scores is on taste which is strong, rich and sweetly-sharp with a hint of smokiness.

 

 

Enjoy !!

If I ever see another onion I'll.........

 

 

 

 

If anyone knows any peg producing Gypsies that would be great!!!!

Grow Grow Grow

  With the warmer weather everything seems to be growing like mad at the moment thank goodness - even the peppers

The Tomatoes are starting to ripen, the tattie tops are looking good from all the sun compared with the last few years......plenty of water needed too

 

 

 The Pumpkins too are enjoying life in the big Polytunnel and literally like the courgettes  seem to grow overnight

 The climbing French Beans and Sweetcorn will soon be up to the roof
