    About this ebook

    A woman goes to a nursery for heirloom tomatoes. Cherokee Black. Aunt Ruby’s green or Brandywines. Tom only has hybrids and tries to sell her a yellow hybrid with a shelf life of two weeks.
    The woman will have nothing to do with it. She wants an old standby that is picked in the morning and eaten at lunch.
    Tom thinks she fell from the back of the turnip truck more than once.

      And The Winner Is

      Feb 23, 2020

      There has been a lot of shouting going on here at Lush Places in recent weeks. I shout at my tomatoes: “Come on! But not quite yet.” I shout at my sunflowers and my dahlias and my zinnias: “Come on! But not quite yet.” You are supposed to shout and s

      Ripe For The Picking

      Jun 10, 2020

      THERE are few scents as lusciously evocative as the tomato plant in full bloom. So thickly, exotically vegetal you could cut it with a scythe, one whiff is all it takes for me to be whisked back to my grandparents’ greenhouse and carefree, sun-baked

      Our tomato Picks

      ‘Sun Baby’ is eye-catching with small, bright-yellow cherry fruits. Strongly flavoured, it’s more acidic than some, but I find the taste refreshing. Grows well outside and as each truss produces lots of fruits, you don’t need too many trusses for a d
