Summer Transfer Window (Stephen Glass’ first)

[NaeMairNeeps]

Last year I grew an 11ft tomato plant, which all but deprived me of all light coming in my south facing living room window (the soother), which produced 32 tomatoes, of varying sizes, maistly golf baas, a few near tennis baas, a heap o' tattie-mashers, some regular 'dazzies', and one the size o' a pea ... all equally delicious.

I cut the plant back tae 3 feet, repotted and let grow again ... and within 6 weeks, it was near enough 9 feet ... - it's now back tae 11 feet .... but the first tomatas didna look right.

Ah wis thinkin aboot the rebuildin o' oor team as Ah decided tae chop these 'nae richt' tomatas instead o' waitin tae see if they would 'come good' .... in order that the resources o' said plant, which was at the same time producin a heap mair, smaller, but mair 'richt lookin', could be better utilised..... and all is now goin well.

I think my management o' tomatas already qualifies me for the youth coach job should it become available ... Ah reckon Eddie Turnbull would hae approved
