About 3 years ago someone very kindly sent me some seeds of these toms and
we've saved and planted some every year. I'd like to get hold of some more,
though, if I can. I'm sorry to say that I can't remember who my benefactor
was but if s/he or anyone else knows where I can get some more seeds, I'd be
very grateful for the information.

Hi Sacha,

If all else fails, try West Dean (?Sussex?), famous for herb, tomato and
chillie festivals. They had a goodly tomato slot on Gardeners' World very
recently. If they don't have it, they may be able to direct you to someone
who does.

How could I not have thought of that! Thank you so much. We saw a tv
programme about them just the other day. Time to get the brain in
gear...some real sun would help!

The HDRA have them and they want gardeners to adopt the variety to increase
it...

So if you are up to saving some seed for return to them you might be in with
a chance.

For me - the flavour. And coming from Jersey, they're part of my childhood
and my first memories of eating tomatoes, which are my favourite fruit.
