hi

does anyone know anyone who worked at the old bretby nursery in burton, at that time they only produced tomatoes. 

If so have they got any of the bretby tomato seed 

thanks

    There's a website here-

    It seems the variety they used to grow was Ailsa Craig - still widely available


    Billericay - Essex

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    Hi

    Thanks for the reply but it definately wasn't Ailsa Graig, it was called Bretby tomato and I am talking about at least 20-25 years ago before the new garden centre took over.

    was hoping someone from that era had saved some seed 

    anyone out there ? Remember this ?
