Bower, this is the earliest I have had tomatoes ripen and it will another week at least before the next starts to blush. Was hoping to have some of the true earliest ripen by now but lost several weeks when I injured myself.
Our summer days get out to around 15 or 16 hours long, winter around 10 to 11 hours. Enjoy your lamb, we eat and enjoy it regularly. |

That is amazing for the daylight hours.

We can grow some vegetables over winter, but temperatures here are to low for tomatoes, although we are looking at getting a reasonablely sized glasshouse which may stay warm enough with a little bit of heating. I have overwintered capsicums before in the ground, by covering them with plastic over a framework, and have planted them in a suitable arrangement for doing so again this winter
Don't envy you the cold, snow gets close enough for me here as it is. |

A plant from seed passed on to Mcsee, does not seem to be what he was told.

One of two plants, both growing equally as well as the other and carrying two seed bags.

While up at the parents, I looked at the Orange Grosse Lisse that they have planted from what I passed on to them. They are both typical of what I consider indeterminate growth habitat. So at this stage 1 out of 4 showing dwarf growth habit. I have bagged flowers on both growth forms.

Understand why this is so named - multiflora and crazy multiple growth style. Only 600mm high, but with 12 or 15 growth leaders as a minimum.
