Tomatoes
Thanks to Jacula who hunted through her old Lakeland catalogues, I now know that my tomatoes are a variety called Alicante. They are heavy croppers so I should have LOADS of toms to eat in a few weeks' time. Here's a photo of what they will look like (I hope!).
Mum's friend had tomato seeds from the same Lakeland catalogue and hers were 'Tumbler' which you grow in hanging baskets. So, apparently, not all the packets were the same. Yours don't look like Tumbler as they seem quite upright.
Oh dear. It's a bit late to transplant them to hanging baskets now. They don't show any signs of drooping in a hanging fashion, so perhaps they are uprights after all.
