The was one tomato on the Isle of Aran, and another on Donegal Harbour ... they've both disappeared... I accuse Hywel and Sandra ...
28 Dec, 2010

28 Dec, 2010

28 Dec, 2010
These tomatoes are a very olde variety ... on the Antiques Road Show with Arthur Negal ...
28 Dec, 2010
Good one Hwyel, that's better than mine.
28 Dec, 2010
ah yes know it well!
just wondering if those who have stolen the tomatoes have made them into PESTo?
28 Dec, 2010
They're very tastey. I think I'll have another :o)
28 Dec, 2010
Well, it's a good thing I didn't photograph Chocolate Hobnobs on the map... Hywel would have eaten them all by now ...
28 Dec, 2010
I did see tree fellas earlier on. Lol.
28 Dec, 2010
you're not allowed!!!
what was that poem
Old Tom tomato, like a red ball
grows in the sunshine, behind the garden wall
Along came hywell with his mouth open wide
and old tom tomato tumbled down inside
down, down,down,down the red lane
and nobody saw tom tomato again
well not until sandra came along!
28 Dec, 2010

28 Dec, 2010

28 Dec, 2010

28 Dec, 2010
The Internet is such a wonderful source or information..
also known as a tomato sauce of information ;o)
28 Dec, 2010

28 Dec, 2010
I've just cracked open a new packet of Chocolate Hobnobs... and I blame you, Stickitoffee ... I challenge you to Hobnobs at dawn ...
at 50 paces ...
28 Dec, 2010
They look rather red for Irish tomatoes? Shouldn't they have been green, like most of us got this year???
Acutually, Hywel, this would be a fantastic variety name, methinks!!! :-)))))
28 Dec, 2010
white tomatoes here david!
you are on TT!!!
oh just remembered will have been at work for 2 and a half hours before dawn!!! but since i work in supermarket i think i can out hobnob you!!!!!!!
28 Dec, 2010
Oh Stickitoffee - I've only just seen your poem lol ;o)
Great !
28 Dec, 2010
glad you liked it ~ i think its a traditional rhyme? i didnt make it up.
28 Dec, 2010
Loved the verse, Sticki. Are you sure they are tomatoes, and not snowballs? :-))))
Don't ever mention the "C" word within my virtual earshot, though!!!! :-)))
29 Dec, 2010
"C" word, David ? Coast ? Lol..
Sticki ...
congrats. on working alongside all those hobnobs .. ;o)
29 Dec, 2010
Are they those flavoursome Piccollo ones that can come from Kent TT......or rather, were they? Pricey but nicey.
29 Dec, 2010
Hi Dorjac ...
they might look like "sweet vine-ripened ...
... from Holland"
.. but they are the famous Irish Coast Tomatoes ;o)
29 Dec, 2010
got snowballs and tomatoes here!
29 Dec, 2010
Careful, Sticki ... don't mix your drinks ;o)
29 Dec, 2010
hic?
29 Dec, 2010
Sticki ...
... you're much more chic than hic ... :o)
29 Dec, 2010
you must be taking the mick!
29 Dec, 2010
... take your pick ... chic or hic ;o)
29 Dec, 2010
there are alternatives that would be better left off here!
but i think its all a trick?
29 Dec, 2010
All a trick ?
Are you hinting that those tomatoes in the pic are not really the rare Irish Coast variety ?
Hywel will be growing more of these special tomatoes next year ..
Keep a look out later in 2011 ;o)
29 Dec, 2010
rare tomatoes are better than squashed tomatoes i guess?
will irish coast tomatoes grow in wales????
29 Dec, 2010
Next year, special tomato-growing trials will be taking place in Carmarthenshire ;o)
... Watch this space ...
29 Dec, 2010
RTS will be very interested im sure [Royal Tomatocultural Society]
29 Dec, 2010

29 Dec, 2010
What I want to know is will they be catalogued under I for Irish or T for Tomatoes, could help in finding them next year!
29 Dec, 2010
Hi Bob... could be under E for Erin ? ;o)
We'll find your new varieties on the New ZEALand map ...
29 Dec, 2010
I've already looked there TT, not a Tomato in sight. LOL, I found some stray L's though.
29 Dec, 2010
award of merriment is excellent
could also have:
Hywel's hysterical haward
or
Terratoonie's topical tumultuous triumph???
29 Dec, 2010
Bob ...
stray L's ?
As is LOL for Laughter ?
... those are always welcome ;o)
Sticki ...
All awards are to be in the form of engraved chocolate Hobnobs of various shapes :o)
HRH ... Hywel's Regal Hobnob award ... :o)
29 Dec, 2010
lol ! :D
29 Dec, 2010
are stray L's anything to do with the first no-eL??
