Has anyone heard of this before? It's a relatively new open pollinated, blight resistant tomato bred by Simon Crawford (breeder of Red Alert, the Crimson line, Honeycomb etc.) It's a semi-determinate which produces medium red fruit. Apparently it was released last year but this is the first I've heard of it.

The outlaws ( Bob’s brother ) is having his first polytunnel arrive and constructed on Monday. We’ve been discussing seeds. I’m always happy to help someone else become addicted     . Oh gods , does that make me a pusher   . 
So which companies will send seed to Northern Ireland? He’s buying from eBay! He could be growing anything! But probably not what he thinks!

A Daily Challenge to SPY wildlife in your garden/outdoors. 

The aim is to SPY and identify each of the following:-
A Bird
A Butterfly or Moth (incuding caterpillar, chrysalis and imago)
A Bee or Wasp
A Mollusc
An insect or spider
Another living creature (you can only use a "named human" or a "pet" once )

Every day must be different - for example, once you're seen a Robin, you can't SPY him again.

The point has been made on a thread about Kales that they all taste the same - so why grow several varieties when one will do? 
We know that a mix of varieties will extend the cropping season but, if we ignore that,.............my question is.......in your opinion which other vegetables or fruit "taste the same"? 

For me, its Leeks. There may be blue ones, yellow ones and green ones, some are early, some late, some overwinter, some crop in summer - but when it comes to eating them, they all taste the same.
