Sweet 'n' Neat Scarlet. Micro dwarf. Tiny plant, overloaded with red cherries. Impressive but the taste was only okay. [ATTACH]
Accordian Cherry. Huuuuge vine with multiflora tresses of cute-looking little ribbed toms. Initially disappointed in the flavour but the later...
Amur Tiger. There are two sizes of this knocking about - a smallish salad and a big 'ol fatty. Was hoping for the former ( for ripening in limited...
Ambrosia Giant. Lovely taste. Sweet and spicy. The texture was a bit soft for my liking and the skin so thin you could bruise it with a hard...
