Long Hot Summer Of 2003
Brings Tomatoes To Thurso Beach
Council gardeners recently got a shock to discover around one hundred
tomato plants growing in the sands of Thurso beach. How they got there is
unknown, but they are bearing fruit. Head gardener, John Ross
said "I've never seen anything like this before. How they have
survived in these conditions is unheard of." He went on to say "The
good weather this past year would have played a major factor in their
progress, but I would think the salt water wouldn't of helped much."
Have you any unusual plants growing in Caithness this year due to the
unusually high temperatures the year "Costa Caithness" came true?
