Made them all into a gazpacho. Everyone said it was one of the best they’d tasted. Point is that the tommies bought in supermarkets etc taste like watery shoite. Proper homegrown, from good strains are a thousand times better tasting, whether in gazpacho or a sauce. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Size over quality. Mix that with biotech/Monsanto seedlings/seeds/strains etc and you’ve got shit food being grown that gives maximum profit! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Those pigs are tidy, Oxford Sandy Blacks or some derivative mate ? I had Tamworth x GOS and they looked very similar as well. Yeah OSBs these ones. My last were tam × GOS. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
