When I was a kid, my mum used to grow tomatoes (that's tomartoes) in a greenhouse at the bottom of the garden. They were big messy plants, with a tendril-to-fruit ratio of about 99:1 - nothing like the nice tidy tomatoes on the vine that you find shrink-wrapped in punnets at the supermarket nowadays. The greenhouse was also one of the real Jones's favourite places in the winter, as she could go in there on a cold but sunny day and pretend it was still summer.
