Been growing seeds for 60 years (got the anorak!) but this year was the first time something strange showed in the seed tray. They should all have been Britain's Breakfast Tomatoes but amongst the few (!!) Toms were these 'other' seedlings. As the firm is renowned for large plants I wondered if indeed they were a really new Tomato variety amongst the seemingly hundreds that are to be grown these days. Otherwise I thought perhaps they were somehow 'escapees' from within the catalogue that had somehow found the end of the tunnel by consorting with Tomatos. Needless to say I wrote and sent the photees to the seed merchant and they of course denied any possibility that they were rogues. They didn't even comment on my suggestion that they might have been someone's 'Waccy Baccy'! They simply suggested that unlike them, my seed-sowing cleanliness was lacking and they'd come from the compost. Always possible I suppose but then i'd be inundated by them if that was the case. Still a possibility i'd accept. But what are they?
Just in case they were some new super-Tom I have in fact planted the now huge plants in my Tomato border where they flaunt their individuality in the light of my red, no, very red face!
