Almost tomato time at Struan Farm! I've spent several days potting up the seed trays of various tomatoes that have germinated in the glasshouse. This year we've got saved seeds from last season I've christened "Big Red," "Black Oxheart," both saved and new, "Tula Black," "Oxheart," "Albenga Oxheart," "Black Cherry," "Cherokee Purple," "Marmande," and "Mr. V's Purple," seeds sent to me by my tomato mentor Mr. Vodanovich from Dargaville.
One day I counted up over 300, and that was before my latest pot-a-thon. I've still got heaps of "Big Red" plants in seed trays to spare. May have to run those into the local community garden.
And yes, quite a few of these will end up at the Piopio Community Fruit & Veg Stand in due course. Once the weather is warm enough for plants to be planted outside.
