      Loli, I was just wondering what you thought of Beefmaster vs Marmande (if you have grown them before) as far as taste and general ease of growing? I'm considering Beefmaster for next year but never grown it before.

      Cheers

            Cheers for the thought Jen, appreciate that, but I must admit to being ultra careful (some might say a wee bit paranoid ;)) about giving out my personal info on the net to anyone (please don't take that the wrong way anyone as you are all lovely :SUNsmile:).

            Cheers

              I have grown brown toms ,not chocolate but Brown berry and Black cherry did not like the taste of either see below from my journal.

              Black cherry good plants abundant fruit plenty of flavour, did not like flavour not for me
              Brown berry good plants abundant fruit plenty of flavour, did not like flavour not for me
              I have 8 seeds of black cherry and 11 of brown berry packed Sept 2012 if anyone wants them
