I had about 154. It might have started working again. I got notification of your message. You should await the postman's knock, too. Or his bell. Or however he announces himself.
Thank you so much - the builders start work on our roof and soffits tomorrow; I'll warn them that I'm expecting a package any time now - they can put it somewhere safe for me when they come in to mak their tea and Hobnobs.

We always grow gardeners delight. We have tried various ones but always return to them for salads. The year we have also grown Alicante, for chutney and soups and one yellow tomato, golden sunrise. We have had a good crop from all 3 varieties, but will not be growing the yellow tomato again, not very good flavour or texture. We usually try to ring the changes so I am following this thread with interest to see if anyone has a really good, flavoursome, good cropping tomato to recommend. We grow our toms in a greenhouse.
I grew golden sunrise amoungst others, only picked a few as it's slow to change colour, not impressed with the texture and taste either but it's ladened with unripe toms. Christmas grape is a nice cherry one, ate my first this evening, hasn't got many trussels though as it's been grown in a pot on the potting bench and the top was nipped off when it reached the glass so it's only a couple of feet high, will grow that one next year in a bed to see if it fares better.
I'm growing Marmande and Red Alert outside this year - RA is supposed to be early ripening, but although we have lots of fruit we have no ripe ones yet - but then we've not had much warm weather - so no reports on flavour yet!
I foresee lots of green tomato chutney.

Don't hold your breath. You forget that we're relying on the Italian postal system. Yet to discover technology such as those new-fangled things called aeroplanes, they use mainly tortoises on crutches.
Oh, how lovely! I'll warn the builders to expect a tired tortoise - we can put him up for a day or two (I've got plenty of Cos lettuce in the garden) and then when he's recovered he can start his journey back home.
Sorry folks!

And it looks like the email notification of posts has gone down the gurgler again. It worked for a couple of hours today. Tst.
It worked for a couple of hours and suddenly I had 54 emails
