Missed the massed roses at the rose garden, but still a few good corners left

Beefsteak, I think... I have another plant Black Krim, those tomatoes should be menacing, no sign of them yet.

Black Krim (good thing it's not spelt slightly differently) are excellent for flavour; we had some plants last year. Big tomatoes and they produced through summer and autumn. I sadly failed with seed-saving and all the seed went mouldy. Riesentraube will be interesting to see what it is; Tigerella are my very favourites for their intense taste and orange stripes. The sole Bloody Butcher has fruit three weeks after planting.
Picked the first cucumber today, and the Gravensteins are looking good for early January. Basil failed. Garlic forgotten. Think I'll call myself the Unreliable Gardener.

Jos,
I was intrigued with all your cheeky darky tomato posts that while I found my self in Bun Buns (Bunnings). I bought myself one. They sound wonderful from rants on the netty net.

Let the toms get very dark before you eat them. Orangey red is not enough! They are sublime eaten warmed by the sun and on toast (Vogels or sourdough or Breadman pumpernickel) with salt or kelp (or marmite or salted brewer’s yeast flakes). I can't wait for the Tigerellas.
Much excitement last night as the promised tornado/giant hail/ hurr of a downpour didn’t happen and wreck the fruit trees and veges as we thought it might. We had a pyrotechnic sky: but it hugged the hills and we just missed the worst of it.

Wow that must have been quite nerve wracking waiting for an impending apocalypse, thank goodness it was just pretty in the end.

Apocalypse watch was fun: we installed ourselves in front of the French doors with coffee and Facebooked the storm track and with a friend on the other side of the hills. Then realised that place was none too smart...
