Those tomatoes I planted the other day are beginning to pop up. First to arrive were my saved seeds – my ongoing line of ‘Artisan Purple’ followed by the ‘Orange Rapture’ ones I saved from a supermarket purchase last year. I thought I was going to have to claim on those ‘Ananas’ ones but, checking this evening, those are now beginning to show.

The only ones not to pop up yet are the ‘Moneymaker’, although that seed packet was quite old. I might still be getting an emergency batch of ‘Golden Sunrise’ going. Still, at least we’re away.
