The warm weather is making everything grow, which is just as well as a brisk start to the season has seen us in danger of running out of some herb varieties.   The veg transplants in paper pots are coming on, & we've got Witkiem broad beans, Buttercrunch, Little Gem, Catalogna and Red Salad Bowl lettuce as well as various mixed salads, spinach and chard.  Brassicas and leeks should be ready soon.  We're also doing annual herbs like coriander and chervil in the paper pots, which means they'll be much cheaper than last year - 4 for £1. 

Likewise we continue to experiment with different tomato varieties as well as the stock favourites.  The main newcomer this year is Sungold, which we've had to get permission to grow as we still can't source organic seed. 

The full list is:

	Principe Borghese Italian vine tomato. Indeterminate. Small egg shaped fruits with few seeds. Ideal for salads or for using sliced with mozzarella, basil and olive oil and for drying for winter use. Fruits are typically 80-100g each in weight.  Sicilians hang them green in cool and airy barns, and they last till the end of Feb.  Principe Borghese is often called 'da appendere' or ‘to hang’ and can keep for months
	St Pierre A French heirloom variety actively sought out in the street markets for its superior flavour. Featured in BBC Gardeners World Magazine Mar 2008 by Pippa Greenwood. French salad tomato. Round, good sized, determinate (bush variety). Produces a late crop of large, tasty bright red fruit over a long period.
	Marmande Flat, scalloped beefy tomato, thick fleshed and with a sweet, superbly flavoursome taste. A favourite of many gardeners. Ideal grilled, fried, sliced or raw in salads Can be grown outside. Indeterminate. Fruits typically of 150-170g each in weight
	Andine Cornue Introduced several years ago by a French collector from the Andes. Large fruits resembling peppers which are very suitable for soups and sauces. Early ripening.
	Olirose The elongated fruits are the shape of olives, with an average weight of 50g. Pink flesh, sweet exquisite taste.
