Brilliant! I agree that once you eat a homegrown tomato you can never go back. I had the same experience this week with iceberg lettuce. It had flavor… wow.

Loved the part about the cat… I can sympathize!

I’m fascinated with our love of Tomatoes. I’m sure it’s because we enjoy triumphing over adversity. Capsicum, Eggplant and even Cucumbers are easier to grow than Tomatoes but does that remove some of the thrill?
Of course it may be the range of colours and flavours, Potatoes are easy to grow and they provide a fantastic range too. Peter

That’s a brilliant idea! (though hopefully its a fairly solid base?) Let me come and check it out and we can discuss it. My vote is for both vegie mix and dead leaves. I’ll post whatever we come up with

Fair points, all of them! I have to admit – I’ve never got around to trying potatoes. Its always been one of those things I’ve never really made space for. I’m very precious about what goes into my raised beds. I tell you what, I’ll clear out a spot up the back this year, chuck some in and I’ll let you know if they surpass the toms.
