These were grown from Seeds obtained from last years crops.
There are Cherry Tomatoes, Pear Drop Tomatoes, and normal Red Tomatoes.
Alas, I neglected to note which envelope I put the seeds into last year, for that reason, no particular type can be provided.
Regardless, I am certain you will be absolutely delighted when you consume some in early 2021!
As these all came up in a group, no specific variety can be given!
Regardless, I am certain all of them will be delectable when consumed!

If so, we have a lunch group where you bring your own lunch, listen to entertainers and we provide you tea or coffee.
It is open to all on the 2nd Thursday of each month at the Mairangi Bay Presbyterian Church Hall 12noon – 2pm.

Representatives from the three recipient groups within Presbyterian Support Northern: (Family Start; SHINE and Youth Workers in Secondary Schools) joined in. They each gave a summary of the work they do and how much these gift boxes are appreciated. They have the responsibility of making sure that these boxes get to the families and people who are in need of some cheer.
This year a new record of 82 boxes was achieved as well as 3 bins of donated products that wouldn’t fit in the boxes.
Photos show the hall at the start of the wrapping service as well as a close up of wrapping in progress. It was a joyous occasion.
