Hazel Dene is thrilled to announce the arrival of
- Grosse Lisse
the first tomato of the season
delivered safely by the Fat Fruit Greenhouse.
New sister for Capsicum and Chilli.
The facts are:
- Two tomatoes were picked.
- The larger one on the left was from the Fat Fruit Greenhouse the other out of the garden.
- Both plants were grafted Grosse Lisse planted at the same time.
- The Greenhouse delivered the larger fruit and the plant has lots more good sized fruit.
- The plant in the garden, although coming a dead heat in the race for first fruit provided a smaller specimen AND has no other fruit set.
So the Green house wins...
AGAIN!

ReplyDeleteI'm always jealous of your side of the world especially at this time on the calendar. We had a howling wind and some snow tonight.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the start of a successful growing season.
Wow, yesterday we had sex and today we have a birth. That's pretty guick work!
ReplyDeleteBTW: Carbon footprint of old windmill: quite high, I imagine. Just consider the embedded emissions involved with making all that metal and transporting it out to the back of beyond...
That is some big mamma of a tomato! Your veg is looking very tasty indeed.
ReplyDeleteIf feels like summer here right now, but sadly I still have about six months before I will have tomato season. I wish I could reach through my screen and snatch one of those tomatoes!
